Reminiscences of Being Together

Snowing tonight ~ whispering, luminescent, dazzling,   Air misty, heavy ~ wind calm, serene,  Sights outside blurred, indistinct through the hazy window glasses,  Rooftops getting blanketed with white laces ~ A picturesque winter wonderland,  Treetops embellished with silver ornaments, grasses caressed by soft touches of snow,   My heart is with you,  Craving for the profound tenderness of your company ~ If only you knew.  At the first demure light of dawn, open my eyes,  It's only you I think of.  In between numerous mundane chores,  Multitude of unavoidable responsibilities,  Hours of running meaningless errands,  I ponder about you.  At the end of an arduous day, before retiring to bed, who fills my heart with magical dreams? You ~ and the twinkle of your eyes ~ If only you knew!  So far away, exuberantly exploring unfamiliar countries,  You are immersed, building a meaningfully bright future,  Surrounded by charming delightful folks, Sometimes a mysterious dream may wake you up at midnight,  You wonder why!  I write and write, pour my deepest thoughts,  My innermost hopes and desires, pains and agony,  Spend sleepless nights until my eyelids droop in slumber ~ If only you knew!  October 25, 2020 For "If Only You Knew" Contest (Second Place) Sponsor: Silent One
