One Warm September

How many hearts so full of love are never given chances They've lined the walls in silent hope at one too many dances A lonely mirror once looked back at me, as I remember How devastating life could be until one warm September I’ll not forget the ups and downs the great anticipation To only then be squashed again without accommodation But then one day when life had learned, alone can be complete I came upon the only one forever to be sweet Just catch a moment, hold it still be open to new fashion For one can never know when fate and destiny find passion And when September rolls around remember what i say For then it was my turn to dance and dance until this day

I remember being a wall flower at a few dances. Girls always scared the dickens out of me. I guess they still do. But eventually... love rears its head. I'm thankful for that. This is truly a wonderful poem my friend. Have a great day.

This thought curls softly around me. "catch a moment, hold it still." I completely agree. This is beautiful, tender and emotional, all at the same time. Love is a gentle whisper in the wind. Congratulations Mike, on Poem of the Day. Happy Wednesday. Hugs, Brandy

Mike--I thoroughly enjoyed your poem...it was well written and uplifting and reminded me of the warm summer day I met my husband-to-be at square dance lessons. Neither of us knew at the time that our fates and destines would be intertwined for 40 years now. Truly, just a lovely piece. Sara Etgen-Baker PS Congrats on a well-deserved poem of the day.

Mike, I'd say you have mastered this genre... Of course, I wish I knew WTH 'genre' means... Congrats on POTD, most sincerely. (And I know what sincerely means!)... But is POTD 'code' for potted?! Keep smiling, Gershon

How beautiful this one is. The wall of silent hope, the lonely mirror, feeling complete in aloneness or completely alone, fate and destiny…a forever love in the new dance! Congratulations on POTD! My parents met at a Catholic night dance and fell head over heels for one another. They both were identical twins. 61 years of marital bliss. Dad misses mom.
