Michael J. Falotico Poet Haiku

Old To New

by Michael J Falotico

                                                    I reach out to hug..
                                                only air is what I touch..
                                                      so I kiss the sky..
 
                    embracing lost love..
             my hands met with only cold..
                   just a breeze and me.. 

                                                    lingering hope spills..
                                                 an old picture put away..
                                                   frame now new again..

            new buds have formed..
           all the colors lick the sun..
               today we stand tall..

Carolyn Devonshire April 13, 2011 at 3:11 PM When one love leaves our lives, we are sometimes blessed to find "new buds have formed." Now you have someone standing beside you again and I hope you both "kiss the sky" in gratitude. It's wonderful to have a second chance at love, Michael. So happy for you! Love, Carolyn
