To April

I say the words I love you
In every song that's played
My every poem says I love you
With ink that will never fade
On a cloud I wrote I love you
But the cloud blew away
On a tree I wrote I love you
Behind the leaves words say
In the sand I wrote I love you
To the laughing tide
In the wind I cried I love you
While its fury silenced my pride
With my eyes I say I love you
They can never lie
With my heart I love you
A heart that's ruled by time
With my soul I love you
Your the heaven of my mind
With my life I love you
Seek and you shall find

John, I saw and enjoyed your poem today. I miss our dear friend Carolyn also. Is there a possible way one could communicate with her, John? Agape, Moses

So much angst in this, like an aching heart reliving memories that never fade. Like a dream that wants to come true but always out of reach. Wish there was a way to heal the pain John. You always touch a soft spot. Love, Elizabeth
