Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Silent Footfalls Shift

Blush cheeks capture a heated day
sun-soaked lemon chills melt fast
beating hearts drifting off into the bay
as the west winds caress sails of love

Slow waves tumble toward the shore
intertwined fingers grasp and hold tight
as fragile souls sing lullabies of peace

Ominous clouds threaten a golden sky
shading out a final setting orb of hope
thunder rolls and soothes the meadowlark
undercover I can still hear her sweet call

silent footfalls shift after a drenching rain
here I'm left   standing all alone again
