PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Wonderful winds are gone.
Silent footsteps are here.

Living waters and refreshing
dews follow my being.
Like silent footsteps, my
soul is calm, this day.
My heart aches and yearns.

My feeling is blank.
Shadows follow me on
this journey through
life.

Each new dawn, I wake up,
waiting, hoping, striving,
reaching out to hold on to
my dreams and castles in
the air.

What a breathtaking life!
What dreams, what hope,
what riddles and smiles,
and pain will come my
way tomorrow?

What beauty, what joy,
what silent footsteps
will go with me to
sleep tonight?

Tomorrow, when I wake
up, please, tell me
stories of my soul's
yearning to be all the
good I must be to humanity
and to myself.

Tell me to let those
silent footsteps guide
me to peace, to new
bounties of love and
calm understanding.

Let me wait and hope
in the stillness of
these inspiring silent
footsteps. Let me be the
one I am created to be.
Please, heaven, help me
be.

Let these peaceful
silent footsteps

be ours.
