Remembering You

REMEMBERING YOU

 
Grey billowing smoke, seeing embers snap
Down in the valley away from the woods
The bonfire blazes as we sip hot chocolate
Marshmallow caress our lips
The smell of fungi in fall is here
 
Pleasant were our memories of summer
The green grass, the yellow stingers
The laughter playing while tumbling
Barefooted in the warmth of each other
 
But you are gone, and new friends sing
Together our chorus loudly brings
The season of plenty, our time of death
Though distantly, I’ll remember you
As the Blue Bird of Happiness bequest

In all honesty, it has been awhile since I have written poetry. It comes and goes and it has left me for some time. This morning I wrote one, and posted it here. I will do my best to watch for your work; although, I'm not here very often. Thank you for stopping by...
