Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Namaste

Random strangers crossing in the street
Namaste she said to me
Hands joined as she nodded her head

Engaging my heart without deviating
Arrow straight to my soul
Stood out unlike anyone else

I could tell her heart was pure
She was coming from a place of peace
Her soul untroubled and serene

Her eyes vast expanses of gentleness
That was it
Her gift

Namaste
And she walked away

Emile Pinet March 22, 2018 at 9:32 AM This was so lovingly depicted that it entered my heart as a soft fussy feeling and nuzzled up next to my soul as a smile. Congratulations my friend, Emile. Line Gauthier March 22, 2018 at 3:02 PM Thank you, Emile. Most appreciated.

Gershon Wolf March 21, 2018 at 1:15 PM Wow, Line! "Namaste" certainly was a gift from kindness--from out of the blue. What an exceptional experience that must have been, and it took a special person, you, with the soul of a poet, to register and record it in such a poignant, meaningful way! Bravo! :)gw Line Gauthier March 21, 2018 at 2:47 PM Thank you so much, Gershon. Most appreciated.
