was like
a full grown tree taking root
in the ground;
she felt safe walking beside his
strong muscled legs,feet encased
within shoes black as marsh smoke
with a shine as high as sunlight,
leaving an indelible stamp on the
earth and on her heart.
nice…love the allusions to the trees and the march in his steps…and the comfort she feels in walking with him is felt as well….nice piece…
