so gently
the stroke of pen
on parched white
leaves trails
to follow
through burning leaves
of yellow gold that drift
in slow motion musings
when the stem finally
releases hold on limb

So quietly
the glide of ink
drying in solitary way
on bare blankness
that stares back
when eyes focus on rows
side by side
parted by pathways
illuminated by blue

So goes
the sharing unspoken
but heard in heart and soul
as so gently the stroke of pen
on parched white leaves trails
for me to follow

Perhaps because I've been exploring the past recently, this has an old world feel about it, and it pleases me a great deal...

an enjoyable read...thank you for sharing...

yes, an old world feel to it...a quill has surely penned it no matter the tool that was held within your hand

So serenely it flows. It reminded me of swans crossing the calm of a lake. But unfading. I loved this so much.

Sincerely,
Regina
