An Ode to Existence

Standard

Hues of green

Soothing, pacifying, tranquil, serene

Tantalizing, tingling my soul

Soft and gentle to the core

 

Have walked

Fine warm desert sand

Have been awestruck

And has been grand

 

But with every step

Have longed

Your vibrance

Your soft embrace

The lucidity

The freshness

Your grace

 

Unlike the footsteps

In the desert sand

Where footprints were made

Imprints were seen

And yet a gentle breeze

Blew them away

 

Your kindness, generosity

Cushion my every step

Faltering, stumbling

Yet gaining confidence

Knowing that you spring back

As I do

I believe

 

Determined I walk

Heart heavy, heart calm

Body exhausted, body exuberant

A dream in my soul

You comfort

Never give up

Stimulating, cajoling

Showing me a way

Mind free yet numb,

Hopes it is the way.
