1996-0000 Poem ‘She walks’ by Heidi Stonier, New York from 1996-0000 Sudarshan, Spring Review, Page 12

She walks

I sit and gaze unblinking into the fire

She burns

I lay silent in my still bed listening

She sings I turn my head to the mirror

She reflects I absorb

She does all this for me I bow

She knows I doubt

She forgives I cry in my bed like a small child

She lifts me up I am down She is old I am young

She walks though Her body aches

She walks and walks She is here for us all

She roars I open my mouth to speak words come slowly

She passes leaving the smell of flowers

I follow I pick up mu words like flowers stumbling in Her wake

She walks.

She loves I yearn She shows

I learn little by little

I walk behind Her Until the day

I walk beside Her.
