Cobbled Grace 3

Woman walking along brick path — **A Woman's Walk:** A black-and-white photograph of a woman walking along a brick path in front of a stone wall. The woman has long dark hair and is wearing a light-colored dress with short sleeves that falls just below her knees, cinched at the waist by a belt. She appears to be walking towards the left side of the image. Her right leg is slightly lifted as if she's mid-stride. There are no other people or objects in the image besides the woman and the wall behind her. The overall impression of this image suggests that it was taken on a warm summer day, possibly during a leisurely stroll through the countryside.

Poem: Cobbled Grace

She walks where silence whispers olden days, Down narrow ways where ancient stories sleep— A ribboned path of time in shadowed greys, Beneath her heels, the murmurs rise and weep. The cobblestones, like scattered notes of song, Remember steps of lovers, lost and true. Her dress, a breeze that carries dreams along, Becomes a sail through echoes breaking through. The walls lean close, as if to breathe her name, In tongues of moss and timeworn weathered stone; Yet she, a flicker in the fortress flame, Moves like a thought the centuries have known. No need for color—grace needs none to shine— She is the still point in the flow of time.
