Looking Back

She is neither highbrow in her needs
nor lowbrow in her desires

rather, she takes to the song she heeds
the one that tends her fires

she tumbles to a lonesome’s weed
and bleeds when stuck by briers

she is as bare as the plains she travels
embracing north, south, east,and west

tales of stories she bends to unravel
she rises to set only on the best

she is the rock that becomes the gravel
if only to give you a road to test

you catch her touch upon wind’s blow
or hear her sigh within your night

you wish her soft to go real slow
to remember how it’s done so right

and she in song of apropos
pulls your want way up tight

she holds your thought until you gasp
~ or blink ~ holding nothing in your grasp

Really liked this poem.  Were too many lines to quote all the ones I liked!

(sigh) This is wonderfully expressed, sweet friend, sometimes we always need to look over our shoulders and revisit these memories that have shaped our hearts! (big hugggsssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Soleil, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
