Walking

I begin a simple day
I sit down by the lake
its waters bath my soul
joining the morning sun
meant just for me 

I am old
I walk this sacred ground
finding a labyrinth beneath my feet
a journey of hope
and new beginnings

I am lonely
I wait for you 
upon this path
walking the clouds one by one
through my blue-sky day

I know this place
I know this love
and in return trust
I will find my way
all for this one simple day ~

About the Author

I am a beginning author, writer and poet exploring the worlds of poetry, nature and photography. I love to capture ordinary moments and reflect upon our natural world and its intersection with our daily life. In 2006, I co-founded the Shadowleaves Company and started my blog, Shadowleaves. In 2015, I started a local writer’s group in Bella Vista, AR, Village Lake Writers & Poets, sponsored by The Artist Retreat Center and Bella Vista Public Library. Our mission is to share the joy of writing and the importance of writing and telling stories for all ages by connecting with each other.
