I Walk in Your Footprints ~ Response to Option 4 ~ Can you picture that? ~ Cafe Writing

February Project: In the Northern Hemisphere, February is the month of hearts and flowers, groundhogs, candles, and hope for the coming spring. In other parts of the world, of course, it comes with different meanings and traditions. Rather than making the theme for this month specific to Valentine’s Day, then, it will be a celebration of love, with a bit of hope for spring tossed into the mix.
Comment: In the Southern Hemisphere, February is the month of hearts and flowers, dancing dolphins in fading summer waters, candles, and a memory of summer play. It is a time to celebrate the bond of love that asks no questions and needs no answers. It simply is.

I WALK IN YOUR FOOTPRINTS
I feel what you know
And you know what I feel
We love from the depths
Of our hearts
~
I see with your eyes

You see with mine

We sing in the beauty

Of our minds

~

I walk in your footprints

You walk in mine

We are happy in the souls

Of our shoes

Oh, I do love this :)

I'm going to read it as a bedtime poem for my own true (doggy) love.
(It would work for my human love too ;)

Very nice poetic response to this photo.

I love this, especially the line: "We are happy in the souls / Of our shoes", which can be a play on words with "soles / Of our shoes". I don't know if you did that intentionally, but that's what I had in mind at first.

Anyway, your poem matched the photo. Now I really, really miss having a dog!! LOL. Thanks for sharing! :)

You Scored as Ruby

Ruby, resembling love, wealth, wisdom and purity. Ruby-types tend to think with their heart and not their heads, sometimes resulting in wild desicions, but constantly following love and romance. Ruby-types also tend to have a fair judgement and sweet and good feelings for many things. <p> <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/angeldust_seeall/GemStone.html"> See All Results/Comment </a> <p>

You Scored as The Ivy

In Celtic astrology, you're Ivy (not everything on the zodiac is a tree). The animal symbol that accompanies this plant is the butterfly. The ancient Druids say Ivy people are good-natured, empathetic, optimistic, and social and may have magnetic personalities. However, Ivies may be prone to indecision, disappointment, restlessness or a fear of offending others.

Tarot Card Identity

You are The Empress Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation. The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful. The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
