POEM:

FOOTSTEPS, by J. Amber Griffin

Footsteps beneath the branches
lead to
a descension into deepness

A haze of heaviness clears
revealing
contemplative consciousness

Sensations of fervor
writing
the beginning of the story

Noting the colors, textures, shapes
inviting
all of us are welcomed

Curiosity and admiration
adorning
the kinship between us

Flowers grow, petals fall
planted
are new seeds of growth

Rising up together
not fickle
determined by the delight

Continue chapter by chapter
cyclical
until death it doesn’t part

Where sunlight lacks
shadows
protect another haven

Often unseen is the balance
the perfection
too often strived for

Connection bears witness
intrinsic
a feeling of the truth

Staring at starry skies
release
and simply remember

Before ego was eco
