Debra Squyres Poet Free verse

Scattering Memories

Translucent thoughts
linger on the breeze.
A sigh’s echo, counted,
trailing beneath the trees.

Images in fluctuation
reliving days gone by.
If only in the memory…
when it’s not feeling shy.

Leaves of change engulfing
the seasons that are spent
Now scattering what is now
and all that was 
the day it went…

Robert Johnson March 19, 2015 at 2:44 PM We do our best to keep close to the vest, those things that disappear. Bur our request get's put to the test, when the wind will no longer hear. So keep em' there within your heart and then they never will depart. I just love your lamenting poems these day's Debra. Peace. :)
