Poetry and essays are a way to inspire creativity and promote literary art. Smile. Share. Be happy.
I’m excited to share my poetry with readers. Being a reporter for the Shanti Sun isn’t the only type of writing I do. Most people don’t know that I started my writing career as a poet. I’m a published paranormal/mystery novelist, and fine art, nature photographer,

Step Softly
By Dee Doanes
Step softly in the forest.
Step softly in the night.
Step softly,
for butterflies lay sleeping,
for tangled roots lay waiting
to grow into Banyan trees.
Step softly,
whispering truth
into resting lilies
so they bloom with light.
Step softly,
For you are love
And love is everywhere,
cushioning each step.
So step softly, step softly, step softly.
