A W a l k Virginia Salter I feel like taking a walk not the kind that the doc says, no, more leisurely with someone special on my hand whose elbows gently rub mine whose ears hear my inner thoughts someone who rejoices with me in my dreams whose eyes twinkle now and then when we catch the other grabbing a look almost on the sly someone whose footsteps keep rhythm with my heart and mine with his as we stroll allowing the dust from our strides to mingle and the air to carry aromas of flora to surround and place their scents into our lives giving perfume to sweeten our memories the kind of walk that heals inner struggles deep crevices of pain one in which the goal of the steps can be found anywhere along the way and the remainder of the journey is dressing, topping, whipped cream and chopped nuts that adorn and make more savory even the wondrous beauty of the adventure itself and you know, I’d like that walk for you, too, © August 20. 2000 |

Well now.....cowboy is really enjoying his stroll through the blue pages this morning and this beautiful piece sure helped in that. It is a good thing I don't have to worry about extra calories and such or I would have gained 20 lbs in the sweetness of this one. Beautiful write and the flow was both soothing and uplifting at the same time. |

Wonderful poem Virginia! I loved the walk it panted in my thoughts. Wonderful imagery and oh so sweet! Kelly  You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving There is no danger of developing eye-strain from looking on the bright side of things |
