Circles

Music by: Francisco Casarotti Dancing on the steps of time remembering when you were once mine Water color visions of a life that we once had... Together at the edge of heaven we soared like winged birds. Circular light surrounded us round and round we went, swimming like two swans lost in a vortex of water and air ... A subtle touch and breath one fingered caress and suddenly, we began more then less ! Then one day you went away and I was left alone drawing circles in the sand. I tried to touch the stars of yesterday but as I waited by the sea, you never returned. Blinking away the tears I turned to leave but then I heard you say, "stay " So I sat by the ocean and watched the sun go down for I did not have the courage to walk away, nor did I have the strength to whisper to your shadow, "FAREWELL" my love "FAREWELL"

As I read your poem, I liked your reference to swans, because that came into my head before I got to those particular lines of your poem. It's a sad one, but I enjoyed the comparisons you made and your personification and metaphors.

Dear Rose, This one swept me up completely, moving like tides, circling between memory and longing, love and loss. You wrote it with such tenderness and depth. Autumn Blessings, Dear Rose, Daniel
