Inkdrops From Her Eyes
Fingers gripping the pen
Frozen in time
Forehead heavy with thoughts
Heart brimming full of secrets
Words shying behind lips
Inkdrops from her eyes
Trickling down pale cheeks
Vague blots on paper
Facing the sweet warm sun
Stillness of breath
Butterflies adorn her hair
As she lays herself down
On the soft grass
Fear no more
Light footsteps up the hill
Arms open and free
Whispering a prayer of gratitude
Watching with pride
Her tree bursting in pink blossom
Under the blue rainbow
Inkdrops from her eyes…
