Oh these lovely tones in gloaming skies, I know you feel it too, that warmth... I'm so content with my second chance with you...my fears now fleeing. Let me paint the love reflected in your eyes. Let me wipe the doubt from yesterday's tears As we walk together in new hope and let The end of this pier be our new beginning. 4-19-19 Picture number 3 Sponsor Eve Roper

Checking out earlier poems of yours, Connie, while awaiting new ones...found this lovely, touching one written in such flowing rhythmic lines. Everybody deserves a second chance...for some it makes up in more ways than one for any previous experience! Warm regards // paul

Thank you very much Paul. Poetry is taking a back seat in my life right now with my daughter and granddaughter moving in with us. My little Carissa keeps me busy, but it is such a joy to have them here. Blessings xxoo

I love the imagery of the pier, the waiting waters in this exquisite piece. The waters that have received the flood of ancient tears thus fallen..For even Hope can not force love unless the other has it seeding within their heart too. A great fav for me..
