September Song

September Song(for Sarah)



Chill September days
show off
silver gulls,
suspended as they are
on strings of blue.


Caught in the updraft
I think of you,
and do not fully understand
how you turned my life around,
Or
how below became


above.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I guess the gulls and the blue will do it to you. I like your brevity - an instant of realization. Congrats on the selection. daver
