Memories


Mid February dreams amongst the winds of change 
I am waiting for the season to relinquish its hold 
like the frost on the  rooftops, the snow at my door 
sooner or later will be no more...
I am watching the pine tree swaying in the cold sun 
dipping its branches, courtesies of a winter's day
A piano plays softly in the background 
as I sit here contented as a well fed cat 
Mid February dreams amongst the winds of change

From my rocking chair, lavender fields remembered 
sun born kisses with eyelet flashes of white linen 
suntanned arms raised before a blue, blue ocean 
airborne on a surfing board secured as an eagle 
like a beach boy I flew, and who ever knew 
She came to me like an August dream and 
slipped her tiny hand in mine, we became one 
like the summer stars in the sky when they bly 
from my rocking chair lavender fields, I remember 

Winter enclosures well aged in composure I sit to admire  
the view, amazed at how everything secretly, expires.

I love it when you write from your heart, I remember when I first met you back in 2015... How we both have developed as poets and how we show our emotions has changed so much.... I think we are both so much more proficient.... this is so nostalgic and touching...

Isn't lavender a gracious perfume? It's the only perfume I can tolerate. However, your poem is great and memories are always necessary. Hugs.

"Winter enclosures well aged in composure I sit to admire the view, amazed at how everything secretly, expires." I had never really thought of it that way "secretly expires..." but it does, and a blessing we are not always consciously aware. Brilliant write!
