She Sits
by Walt Hardester

Rated "G" by the Author.

Pensive she sits by the stream,
Thinking of nothing really.
Her lovely hand lets the water trail over it as she sits,
Wondering of nothing really.
The absolute beauty of nature fills her mind,
Dreaming of nothing really.
Only feeling the coolness of the water,
And it's gentle pressure on her hand.
Wishing for nothing really.
Only the rustling of leaves stirred by the wind does she hear,
Hoping for nothing really.
Only that this peace in her mind will last,
Thinking of nothing really.

ฉ 2007 Walt Hardester

You sure know how to set a mood. I love moments like that when you don't have to think/dream/wonder/wish/hope for anything. You just ARE. And that's enough to bring the peace.

Reviewed by Jeanette Cooper 11/16/2007
Love this one. Your poem gives me an image of a beautiful young maiden sitting by the stream--and I added to the image--barefooted, long flowing hair, a diaphous skirt blowing in the breeze--her delicate hand sifting water from a clear blue stream.
Reviewed by Barbara Smith 11/16/2007
Nice vivid images and this reader wanting to see the beauty of nature that fills her mind, but you've painted a beautiful picture for the reader to see. I enjoyed this.
