The Time Between the Seasons

In between my autumn and winter years Time passes without notice, seeking you In remembrance of our time, through my tears, Of passions we shared just you and I knew. I wait until I am with you again… At times I feel your warm breath on my cheek. I recall the past that cannot compare, A moment with you is all that I seek, Yet memories now are all that I share. I wait until I am with you again… I know you’re waiting to welcome me where Our soul lights will mingle forever more. With love’s passion I feel you waiting there. I yearn to be with the man I adore. I wait until I am with you again… My hair is now white like the winter snow, I listen to music we both enjoyed And my love, still true, continues to grow. I search the skies and I’m lost in the void. I wait in love ‘till I’m with you again. 7-9-22 ~Poem of the Day July 11, 2022~ Thank you very much Team Poetry Soup ~Ninth Place Premiere Contest~ THE TIME BETWEEN THE SEASONS Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kim Rodrigues

I wonder where my previous comment has gone. I remember having read this touching poem on love, loss and longing and had made a rather elaborate comment on it ! Sadly it is missing.... so sorry ! Again for two days I have to be away for a medical check up. So no time to express the sentiments, expressed earlier.

Thank you very much Paulette. I feel a little self-conscious whenever I have a poem at the top of the best new poems list because there’s so many wonderful poets here whose work is much better than mine. I believe it is the sentiment that got my poem there of others relating to the loss of their mates. I appreciate your wonderful comment. God bless you too dear friend. xxoo

Connie, the lump is in the throat, and the mist is in the eye, and for a relatively unemotional guy such as myself, that is the highest complement I can give. You have such mastery over the concept of "write who you are", and who you are is an optimist and lover of life who has experienced true loss, and you write about this so transparently here. I love your poetic talents merged with vulnerability, honesty, and hope, and am so thrilled to see this awarded with a POTD. Sincere congrats to you, this one is going for safekeeping in my Faves. Hugs ~ John

You are so kind to to always write such insightful comments that are much appreciated. Thank you so very much my friend. Blessings xxoo
