Seven Years In Repose

Awaking a bit early, amid her crisp Autumn's air; Sunday October 13th
Just past his first watch and slightly pleasing this soothing melody; Love's....
Child rising at the dawn of another day; somewhat intriguing as fitting perhaps
Symbolic's place in space, be time ? Nefarious meaning no bejeweled these horizons
Beyound the skies a light so bright and diamond eyes; their vertical cross ? Nineteen sixty-six
Seven years of age; Charles Schultz his Charlie Brown waiting for Lucy within, this pumpkin patch..
Je t'aime, sequined in rhinestone such scenes ? Cosmetic, her purely feminine; an infants, anniversary.

I had what I thought was my first heart break a week or so ago. You said fare thee well. I have alot going on within my life. Life is about change and though when I typed that now, it wasn't of you and I but yet how it is. I held on so very long because of an angel. Just please do not ever force upon me your core beliefs as if I must believe them or surly there ain't salvation for me......k? Anyway, I am being true to myself and life is changing. Change is remarkable. YOU'RE a Christian.I'm not.

The anticipation and pure joy of a child is precious. I remember those innocent days waiting for the first signs of autumn and Halloween. You knew it was finally here when "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" was on the TV! This poem was nostalgic, and it brought back good childhood memories for me. Terrific work, John! I am adding it to my favs! Thank you for the great comments, as always. Love, Kelly
