L Milton Hankins Poet Free verse

Shadowy Figures

Shadowy figures reflected in the panes
Framed with aloe and bougainvilleas,
Unaware, they move furtively like spirits
Dancing in another dimension of space,
They whisper of happier times long ago
When they were young and I was not here.

Thanks for your read, Delice. I always look forward to your comments.

David Mchattie November 24, 2021 at 7:17 PM Lovely poem my friend. Hope the trip went well. It's friggin cold up here in Saskatchewan but warmer weather is coming. Have a great day. L Milton Hankins November 24, 2021 at 7:53 PM Thanks so much, David. I left PV in 84 degree weather. Arrived in Atlanta in the mid-40s, and here in Kentucky in the high-30s. Ah, the weather in PV was superb the entire time I was there.
