My Memory of Spring

The soft morning breeze

Stirs gently through the leaves

And carries with it a song

An overture to Spring

A prelude of feelings

Stir within my heart

Of days remembered

Not forgotten

And the beauty they shall bring

Of sweet flowers blossoming

Their colours soft and bright

A fragrance all pervading

Enhanced by sunlight

Drifting over meadows

Carried on the wind

Over fields and hedgerows

Where nesting birds sing

Such lovely thoughts come to me

Of scents and sights and sounds

A tapestry of beauty

My memory of Spring ...

The Heart That Gives

Perhaps my heart shall never be wrapped in the raiments of another's love again

It is not the end

It is but a passing sadness that must be endured for a time

Life goes on

Others shall live days

That I will never see

Or be a part of

The flowers of the field live on in all their wondrous beauty

Indifferent to the need for love

And the heart that gives

But does not receive

Loses nothing

It lives on

For it finds its own happiness

In its abilty to give....

The Reality of Silence

As my hopes diminish

And memories become shadows

I am lost in the darkness

Searching for your light

Sadness consumes me

The loneliness of isolation

Overwhelming, too much to endure

My heart fades into nothingness.

There was something that once joined us

A closeness, a connection

A friendship I thought

I wonder, where is it now

Your words that once warmed me

Have gone, along with my repose

Sometimes a glimmer of hope

When I think of you

I reach out to capture the moment

But it fades so quickly

Once more you elude me

A light in the darkness

Like a candle burning faintly

Just beyond my reach

But the flame is soon extinguished

The reality of your silence sets in

I lose hope again

And feel the emptiness of it all

And return once more to the darkness

Alone ...
