Notes About The Poem

Near The Peach Orchard

"Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Rumi 

She sits near the peach orchard Waits to take love's calloused hand Autumn's leaves are nearly gone Winter's cold wind on life lands Whispers in soft twilight glow As snow on the mountains fall Memories like rivers pass As future's vision does stall The seasons have had hard blows Mixed in blessings from above Memories comfort you so While hand and hand, we still love Silver strands in moonlight shines Love now a great fulfilled dream Through some storms and gentle snow Love's true strength will always gleam

Andrea, so much in life now interferes with my writing so usually I can jot down a short one that comes to mind in a short period of time. Situations and circumstances brought this one to mind and I needed to write it maybe at 3 A.M. one morning. LOL..Sara K
