As I walk with wonder on soft sea sand My eyes skim lightly over the rolling swells, gently teasing a submissive shore - then watch my feet make salt puddle indents and smile as those patterns are wiped away by froth, there... then there no more
Accompanied only by golden sun - a friendly foe In deceptive calm colour is air-brushed upon my sensitive skin Fine spray of droplets cling tenderly to the light downy hairs upon my arms as a sense of peace radiates from within
I walk on my own but then plainly see another person a little way ahead of me - A solitary figure, casting shadows on the sand As I see, I know deep inside that we will meet And soon we are walking as companions, side by side I reach out tentatively to take the proffered hand .
~~~~~~~
You were always with me my inspiration and my muse I've looked for you always A journey through many harsh lands Two sets of footprints in place of one now make impressions upon the capricious and transient canvas of those ever-shifting sands
Beautiful! This is so very good, I too

Chanti, the poetry and artwork combine to create a very unique rendition of a poem I hold very near to my heart, “Foot Prints.” Throughout ones lifetime, there are many changes which are inevitable, for if one is to be able to blossom into the true being that the one and the Creator has chosen for ones destiny, then the journey is worth the time and effort it takes. However, unfortunately some find the struggle not worth the effort nor are they willing to allow or help comfort another while they try and reach for their full potential. Too many are left scratching their heads, while those willing to give the space and support necessary, will also bask in the radiance of the one reaching for the hand to achieve a better life, and then create two sets of prints that shall walk through eternity. Thank you for sharing your remarkable talent and timeless treasures my gifted friend. Take care and be well.

Once again, "the notorious tracker" has almost succeeded in keeping me away from your new postings. I don't know what is going on in the
Den...but I do know this:
There is still a catch in my heart as I read this for the fourth or fifth time...and will read it over and over again.
It is one of the most beautiful pieces of romantic verse I have read
in a long, long time! A luscious tribute!
The graphic is stunning, too. How I would love to see your studio, Chanti.
Your work is as beautiful as you are...and that Bio pic proves it.
A gorgeous write filled with deep compassion and soul searching ... complimented with a beautiful picture and wonderful title (reminds me of "Footprints in the Sand"). Absolutely stunning!!
