Memories of Summer

Memories of Summer 

As the gilded leaves of Autumn sigh,
I’m haunted by the shadow of a long lost love.
I’ll always remember the soft song of a summer breeze…
from golden days when we were carefree butterflies.

My dear Vijay, thank you so much for visiting and leaving your wonderful compliments which I always enjoy! It's been a while since I have been around - so much going on in my life that I am trying to juggle and balance. In fact, I'm completing a a rigorous certification program which ends in June, so after that I will have more time to dedicate to my poetry! Love and hugs. Pandita
