walk softly

i really just had the opening two words and let it flow as it pleased

Walk softly upon the ground my way,

Approach me slowly or I’ll break and flee.

I do not know what you are

My scenes scream abscond but my feet will not run.

 

Let the wind carry your truth to me,

I smell no fear or malice do you bring.

Still I know not what you are

As I stand my ground

 My heart screams run.

 

Sing to me your words so sweet,

Melody soft makes lead my feet.

An Angels song flows my way.

 

Your truth is settled this very day

The scent from Heaven on a song from above

And the beast of the field is now as gentle as a dove.

Into the cedar circle corral Culpepper carried his grass quiet, animal smooth, loop laid across his body low, ready to dance a hulahand , over the bay, to the deep eyed,short backed Dun,tiger stripped long fore arms, above good bone, short cannons,just the kind his dad would tie into. The little cuvee of horses bunched swished their tails, bent and pushed tipping their pecking order, the Dun squirted to the front, a rope flew !His dads angel hands set the seen and his dads voice filled the boys heart,soon the try of horse heart and boy, would carry a brand of a Cullpepper Man.

walk softly, and carry no stick

I like the gentle and whispy feel to this. I find the 2nd stanza very mysterious.

[Cherrie Palmer]

In the 2nd stanza I was thinking about smell nature can know ones intent by odor, I decided to call it truth instead

[Eloha]

But how come your heart screams run? I'm curious.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Nature is always cautious, they are very hard to neek-up-on. A deer,A coyote, bobcat even a snake become wide-eyed once they discover you

Once adrenaline kicks in they are on the fly
