Short Tread Softly Poems

Tread softly
lest the silence
trembles

Ripple a storm
tranquil spirit
stumbles

push on
with vigour
yet gently
that the void
breathes easy

tread softly
on Mother Earth 
ever grateful
to her elements
loaned to us

Through the depth of your despair, let me be the one who heals your wounded heart.
To prove that I mean you no harm, I place my heart beneath your feet but tread softly, 
for mine is just as fragile....

TREAD SOFTLY

I do recall a quiz question
Who made the most tyres
The audience was tasked
The answer is Lego, I fear
But was that in a good year
Some loud wit then asked
Another called them liars
It gave us all indigestion...

I tread softly, nonchalant,
I speak with a casual tone.
I see the anxiety on your face,
I hear the fear in your voice.

I understand your main concerns,
I sympathize with your plight.
I foresee the final outcome,
And nothing will change your fate....

He who asks is not who we are
What soul is, is God’s light
We’re luminous like yonder star
And throb of bliss delight 

If we’d know, make thoughts slow
Feel in heart, God’s light glow
Tread softly, gently flow

Futile tasks
He who asks...

Tread softly
as if I am a fluffy cloud
whisper only kind words
make every touch
gentle as if I had paper wings
treat my heart with loving care
I have but one-
but most of all be thoughtful dear
in all you say and do
for if you want our love to last
make not the mistakes 
we made in the past
tread softly....

A Walk in the Dark

I tip my hat to the darkness
I applause the nightly howl,
I give credit to the shadows
And bow to the hooting owl.
I salute the evil whispers
A black crow just made a sound,
But the mystery of the moon
I fist up to give a pound.
I respect the creepy graveyard
I tread softly by their graves,
Foggy trees make haunting faces
While the weeping willow waves....

In a dream-like trance

We tread softly along paths

Lit up by flickering lights


We are holding hands

As we stop and read our names

Inscribed on the marble slab

Holding on 
through words
even though fragile 
like a dream
dreamt a countless times,
written many a line
for writing will always remind me 
you are there,
given all so selflessly,
in my eyes alone 
you live forevermore
this love must stay hidden
in dark corridors inside of the mind. 
If ever we find each other
don't put me in a maze
with no escape
but
tread softly in my dreams 
with utmost care.

Leave footprints if you must .
On the sands of time in trust
Just remember ….
No footprint is totally foolproof
to be washproof

All is a game
like the tides that tame
Even the strongest surfer …
Eternal to all is time and nothing else
And sparking in the cosmos we are all just wayfarers

Tread softly
Love authentically
Live lovingly
Behave empathically
Speak truthfully
Move consciously
Grow gratefully !

Poor man's prayer
Lord, don't fix the hole in my sole
For the shoe can be replaced
I can walk a mile, tread softly on the sole
Avoid the puddles and pebbles
The thorns
Deftly reaching my destination
Lord, fill the hole in my soul
That life has dug deep, lord
Make me feel whole again
Let me steep in your love
Like a tea-bag, Lord
Lord, I know the hole in my belly,
In my shoe, in my clothes
Is only temporary
But the hole in my soul
Is taking it's toll, Lord
Fill it, Lord I pray...
