He Comes Secretly

Beaded tresses and silk kimono rustle with finesse, Her geisha heels tapping restlessly on moist Yakasa weeds From an enchi...there he comes secretly, through groans of monks’ bells
*enchi---Japanese garden ----------------------- Brian Strand

This is nice. I think that to walk softly - only geishas have the art to do that. Are the Geishas still around? love the poem thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest...... Lucilla
