Rhoda Tripp Poet Rhyme

Longing For You

Sunlight kissed the horizon; our young age,
leaving dots and dashes upon our crisp page.
Wild flower and Wonders, we both did grow;
watching seasons change from spring to snow.

Sunlight above and the noon overhead;
teenage verbiage and words left unsaid.
Wild flower and Wonders were left behind.
Sometimes snowflakes choose simple design.

Sunlight at five and silhouettes emerge;
and words and meanings work to converge.
Wild flower and Wonders, we slip into sleuth.
Autumn overshadows the losses of youth.

Sunlight gives way to the Wonders of moon.
Wild flower whispers leave me longing for you.
