Clothes gray and brown,
Neat gray brown hair in a tight bun,
Long skirt swished her pace,
Quick and focussed,
Only the passion
Of getting to work on time
Moved her steps
Down the concrete grey sidewalk
Beside brown tree trunks.
When she lets her hair down
does everything soften
into moving dance-steps
as passionate as green leaves
dancing in sunshine, rain and wind?
When her eyes look up and around
does the beautiful world come into focus
so she steps joyously into the sunshine or rain,
feeling the wind tousling her hair.
“Never get so busy making living that you forget to make a life.”
~ Dolly Parton
