Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Her Inner Garden

there she was alone
sitting against the window
in the middle of the bus
off in her own thoughts
dressed dark and different
from some faraway culture

it wasn’t till I sat next to her
that I realized she was praying
I felt a bubble of peace and love
exuding from her heart
her devotion was palpable
in the midst of commotion

she was transported
and I was touched she trusted me
somehow letting me share in her
private ritual of reverence

M. L. Kiser December 7, 2018 at 5:52 AM A lovely poem about what must've been a wonderful experience; you can often feel the energy from those in prayer, as well as, those who are very spiritual; I've met a few of these. Well penned. Line Gauthier December 7, 2018 at 10:02 PM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Most appreciated.
