Echoes Of

If
only
"forever",
whispered to me,
promised withdrawal
from death of emotions,
those memories reflecting
that first passionate kiss stealing
the warmth of words that once wrapped this heart
into an all embracing dance... called love

Then today, tomorrow would awaken
those feelings of yesterday in depth,
allowing the elements of,
to season the now empty
in rainbow colored arcs,
paged to never fade
when soft spoken
confessions
echo
yours.

Wonderful, my friend. Envious of those of you that can write structured...in any form, and write a beautiful piece at the same time.

Beautifully written, Maureen. If the workshop inspired something like this, then it has paid for itself. Go to the head of the class! :0
