He Was

HE WAS

He was one of those Splendor In The Grass
  Forgetless- heart filled days of glory;
    His spirit  on  white puffy cloud-
       Sun- cloned Lewisburg, WV,  fast water

Heaven skipped  the top rocks as surely,
 As never had my heart longed so deeply,
   Nor spirit wind felt so beguilingly sweet,
     Whipping the earth's face clearer-dearer


His arms bound our soul-gathered beings'
  Invisible cry;
    Whilst the brilliant sky so high 
        TOLD THIS STORY:   YEP,

THIS GIRLS IN LOVE WITH THE BOY!

 bettyburdette 2016

The first time I knew I loved my husband, we were
 up on Greenbrier River across Low Water Bridge, WV.
 He was so silently intent on the river, sky, and the
 beautiful clearer than clear water. His spirit was
 sculpting while I fell through space as only a teen can.
 That is what the  poem is about, AND

 To You,  My Only Love --- Gone to Be With THE LOVER OF 
   OUR SOULS, on this 2016 EASTER---HAPPY EASTER TO YOU..
