WALKING ON THE WINDS OF MORNING

Beautiful photo made for me by


Traveler walks
on the winds of morning,
gentled by the soft mist,
attuned to the music
of the spheres.

Tiny birds alight
on her shoulders,
then lift off, twittering,
to follow her passage,
branch to branch,
through the sleepy forest.

She is Sky-Woman.
Though her feet are planted
on the earth,
her eyes never leave
the sky.

There are footsteps
softly padding along
behind her.
She does not turn
to see who comes.
She knows.

He is invisible,
but she knows those perked ears,
that arching tail,
that long black snout.

Walking on 
the winds of the morning,
their two spirits touch
through the veil of mist.
Their two hearts
are never
apart.


One from 2011, my friends, which I reposted last year, but which I felt like revisiting today, and sharing with the Tuesday Platform at Real Toads.

    sometimes it is most apropos to revisit, for it speaks the words we most need to hear ~

    this is a lovely walk, silent earth, sky conversation Sherry - it speaks of and with the breath of Spirit - the small details are lovely and I really like how you've used "gentle" as a verb ... it really sings a very soft treading tone :)

    Your way of imbibing nature in your verse is wonderful -- the sky, the earth, all foliage and creatures come alive and breathe through your words.
    I really enjoyed this meeting of the two spirits.

    Your writing stirs the spirit. I can feel the deep connection, one that I know will never be broken. It lives in the heart!

    She does not turn
    to see who comes.
    She knows.... that is so beautiful.. that knowledge of love and trust.

    "She does not turn
    to see who comes.
    She knows.."

    This is just such a sweet image. There's something comforting about this reunion of souls that understand each other so well.

    'Walking on
    the winds of the morning,
    their two spirits touch
    through the veil of mist.'

    What a stunning image, Sherry!

    This is beautiful. There's nothing like a true connection between a person and their animal.
