Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Tiptoe In the Night

she tippy toed
as gently as she could
not wanting to disturb
forgetting where she was
and where she was heading to

locked in a distant dream
stopped dead in her tracks
in the midst of darkness
she opened the door
to let herself out
amused by the 
stillness of the night
the brightness of the moon

following a midnight breeze
the scent of a distant dream
enchanted by the 
glitter of a million stars
she tiptoed as gently as she could

CayCay Godwin December 28, 2018 at 1:56 PM Not fair! You drew me in, I was right with her in the night, under the moon and feeling the breeze then I was left clueless as to where I, I mean she, was going! How poetically creative of you to thus frustrate me. Wonder how long my imagination will take deciding where oh where was she going. Loved it. CayCay Line Gauthier December 28, 2018 at 2:38 PM You weren't lost, CayCay, you were under the stars! LOL

Jennifer Proxenos December 28, 2018 at 1:28 PM A very gentle poem with a gentle soul tiptoeing as silently as she can not to awaken a loved one. And then the stars in the moonlit sky what a beautiful flow of words Line. Well done, Best wishes, Jennifer Line Gauthier December 28, 2018 at 2:38 PM Thanks for your lovey visit, Jennifer.

Bernard Chan December 28, 2018 at 12:22 PM The only thing I like more than your imagery is what you've chosen to leave unsaid, which is an art in itself. Well done, Line. Enjoyed! Line Gauthier December 28, 2018 at 12:49 PM Thank you so much, Bernard. Most appreciated.

Caren Krutsinger December 27, 2018 at 11:56 PM This makes me want to tiptoe out there and look at the stars, Line, so guess what I am doing right now? Thank you for the inspiration, my friend. I am never disappointed in the sky - day or night. Line Gauthier December 28, 2018 at 6:29 AM Awesome, Caren.
