Early Spring First Green

Months passed Absence He had gone to war Polished bronze bowled rapidly along the road Walking along a path through a pine forest Spots of mud drips of rain pressing buttons House design exquisite in classic symmetry Red stone glow warm contrast to a grey sky Outlined within framework of their silhuettes Subtle familiar rose perfumes meet and greet Loving glazed eyes warm smiles kisses hugs Exchange of presents wrapped and ribboned Tears fell tracking a course down her cheeks Dancing muse darling Aunt wonderful cook Lamplight struck red highlights silken tresses Kettle whistled on stove Pot of tea on the table
