Best Seasonswords Poems


The Lines That Come Forth

The taking of the pen in hand 
to write of what I see,
the lines that come forth  through inward demand 
remain the best expressions of me.

Never old and ever changing
are the words upon each page.
Never limitless are my options
for the world is viewed as a stage.

Of various people from all walks of life 
to the seasons of unending change,
the subjects I write of from day to day
are as far as east from west in their range.

Desire and accomplishment are best expressed
each day that I find time to write.
Only when done can heart and hand rest
as the words of each poem come to light.

Winter Words

She spoke to me
In winter words
Words she had filled  
With ice and snow
Her words of summer
Have long since gone
The way of green fields
Covered in bright shinning sun

There are days
Long ago
I can still recall 
Her weaving a nest
With words of spring
Her love and warmth
Filled our home
With songs of warmth
And summer

But these days 
She speaks 
In winter words
Words
I should have 
Long since seen 
Before 
Her winter words appeared
Her expressions 
Spoke of autumn
