Leaps follow glance,
free will acts smart.
Leap towards chance,
follow full heart.
Leap with a dance,
form a new start.
Leaps shake off trance,
sorrows depart.
Embrace being,
all that will be.
Embrace feeling,
spirit flies free.
Embrace meeting,
true self with glee.
Embrace healing,
the world eyes see.
Beautiful place,
stands high on stilts.
Beautiful space,
warm as soft quilts.
Beautiful pace,
peace never tilts.
Beautiful grace,
reflective gilts.
Time to forget,
throw past away.
Time to reset,
find better ways.
Time to offset,
old darker days.
Time to accept,
golden sun rays.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

Beautiful place…soft quilts. What an inviting poem and imagery. Well done Grace.
P.S. I love the poem’s form and how it intentionally echoes the building’s architecture! Brilliant!

Clever use of the word ‘leaps’, Grace. Very nicely done! 🌟
Thanks so much, Nancy. Glad you enjoyed, my friend 💕
I got nervous when I saw the word ‘leaps’. I don’t know what it is, but the stilts freak me out. I’ll go on rollercoasters, though.😅
I was so scared of stilts too, then 4 years ago we booked a cabin in Tennessee and it had 40ft stilts. I had no idea when it was booked and got there pretty late, so we stood. By the end of our trip I was super comfortable.💕😊💕
Love this Grace 💕
