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.
