Now And Then

My heart still thinks about you – Now and Then --
My arms still want to hold you – Now and Then –
And, even though I know you’re gone,
Your mem’ry just keeps hanging on
And I still think about you – Now and Then.

My friends...

Is this the world that was so young
and fresh and fair but yesterday?
From leafy bows the robin sung
Is this the world that was so young?
Wild bees upon the clover swung
And grove and field with bloom were gay
Is this the world that was so young
and fresh...

Every now and then

I come to you

 A climbing jasmine

through the window

of your heart

a perfumed smile 

'neath cashmere sheets

a sweetened scent

in waking thoughts

an empty porch

with swinging dreams

Every now and then

I come to you

a hush-hushed whisper

on a  restless night

a drop of sunshine

on winter lips

a tender...

Now and Then
I’m writing you in cursive script
Despite computer minded folk
And cell phones where you always spoke 
You’re looking at a clock instead
All other sites are just as dead
But with my plume I let you know
So you can feel the silken flow
My passion with my...

NOW AND THEN

  NOW AND THEN I WONDER
  ABOUT THE THINGS WE DO
  NEVER IN A HURRY
  CARING AND KNOWING I LOVE YOU
  YES I FEEL THIS JUST FOR YOU

  WHEN I'M AROUND YOU, I FEEL SO WELL

Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name is vanity!

By doubting Nature's regnancy,
defying laws with levity,
we strain our...

NOW AND THEN

Tell me how you know it's now
by lines across an old man's brow?
Before it came, it’s come and went.
A wispy trail, a non- event.
Found within or found without 
It always seems there is no doubt
Reality is limited to our years,
Our hopes, our dreams...

My love for this, the fourth season,
Lives within it’s own secret joy,
‘Tis all so very pleasin’,
To watch Nature employ,
Her whims on this Florida boy.

The warm soft breeze from the Okee lake,
Seductively luring the snowbird crowd, 
Fluttering  flowers for heaven’s sake,
Nudging wisps of cirrus cloud,
Stirring...

Every now and then you come to me

A starlit voyager upon a late winter eve

A solitary knight riding through winds

 'neath soft soaking rain

You wear my heart on your sleeve

Every now and then you come to me

to these silent halls of my daring arms

you whisk...

As we know, sometimes we can see the big picture by peeking through a keyhole. And in America today perhaps we can see better the state of innocence among young children by looking at a recent incident in middle America.

A retired grammar school teacher, Thomas...

Now and Then in 2017©

There was a time when I was younger
That there was this constant hunger
	
Time has passed and the years have flown by 
Sometimes joy and laughter, sometimes a good cry

Vows kept under the stars we met
A grandson that keeps me young without...

The state of modern times sheds a dim light
  on what is now considered wrong or right.
    The present times provide much less insight
      to know a right from self-assigned delight,

In our small community, there was a library surrounded by a playground filled with play equipment for children. There was a large and strong swing set 
made of iron. There were also a sliding board and merry-go-round, both large. This swing set was the best,...
