Summertime

An ill wind blew December in Allowing pause for meditation And memories of less torrid times In sweeter and much warmer climes Than our more recent past had known But which I had been shown when once upon a time I’d loved you. No, So many times I’d loved you Had been in love with you And stopped And then Had loved you yet again But now it seems the time has come For me to face the truth you knew That you And I Don’t blend. And so have stuttered to our end.

Thanks, Suz. Been busy with study - it gets no easier with age - but all done now. Only shortage of ideas and inspiration to deal with. Might try responding to some of those contests you guys sponsor.
