Forgotten Flowers

I don’t want to fade into the shadows

Of some forgotten memory

I need to live in the light

Where hope still survives

For just as the flowers of the fields

Need the sun and rain to flourish

So too does my heart need to be tended 

So that I may blossom in the sunshine

To be nurtured, to grow

To feel loved and wanted

Not left to fade away

Or to be ignored

And left without hope

Like so many forgotten flowers…

One More Time Again ...

I find comfort in the places

where our memories live on

and your words once warmed my heart.

Out of the long space of silence

and the lonely shadows

you return again

My heart comes alive once more

you are near

and I breathe again

Would it be wrong of me this time

to hope that you might stay awhile

I wonder do you care just enough

Or once more will you take your light away

and my heart shall falter again

leaving me in the cold of darkness

to mourn your absence one more time again…

You Come To Me...

You come to me so softly

Just before the day

I cannot hear your footsteps

But I feel you just the same

The warmth of your caress

Like the sun’s first rays
The closeness of you
Takes my breath away

To know that you are near me

Takes the shadows away...

Vive Le Tour de France

Lake Annecy / Annecy-Semnoz Stage 20

Congratulations to all of the participants of Le Tour de France for your ability, strength and endurance, you all deserve to win.

I have been spending many evenings and early mornings in front of the television watching this wonderful event unfold...later today, Paris. I wish I could be there.

I have also marveled at the spectacular beauty of the landscape of France at every stage, especially the aerial footage of the forests with their magnificent trees, the green countryside, beautiful cows, The Pyrenees, the majesty of the Alps, in particular the Haute-Savoie region, Annecy and Annecy-Semnoz... so many places I would love to visit one day. There are some great video highlights and places of beauty to view at the official Le Tour website. Enjoy, if you have a chance.
