Fourteen Thousand and Fifty-two Steps

Sherry Steiner

the whole world over i have searched for you.
up hills and down dales in the marbled stations
train-less but for time fourteen thousand and fifty-two steps.
for you i have searched the whole world over
five rolling hills with honeysuckle clover.
stones in the water - footsteps frozen in time
the edge of darkness there is no reason or rhyme
bangled bracelets  - a hand on the shoulder - blossoming willows –
a heart on the moon sunrise bridges ~ morning statues rise high above –
forest green melodies ~ red sky waving on billowing clouds roll by
paris is tomorrow ~ satin rain~  river run
coral fragrances drift flowering doves fly windswept silence
coyotes  poetry  minstrels moan - Jupiter finds a way
shipping vessels weep ~ French lilacs glisten on the stone
the whole world over I have searched for you
up hills and down dales in the white marbled stations
train-less but for time fourteen  thousand and fifty-two steps
I have searched the whole world over
five rolling hills with honeysuckle clover
the whole world over I have searched for you.
