Things are Different The sunlight should be streaming through the trees Illuminating every crimson leaf The swallow should be chirping in the breeze And not sit silently upon the sheaf The mountain should be lined with golden light A halo of the setting autumn sun Your fingers should be pressed around me tight While strolling through the field as we have done I should have noticed bronze and purple bloom The geese in silhouette against the sky I should be longing for the harvest moon To mirror it’s romance within my eye The willows should be whispering my name But somehow, darling , you are not the same Elizabeth Santos |

Oh, Liz, this brings tears and much care - such a poem - such feeling! Lovely, poignant, haunting poem! The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

This is so well written; I can feel the longing and the questions. Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |

Elizabeth, I don't know how I missed this wonder. Loneliness can make things strange Pain can often rearrange. But some things will never change. Love Sy |

I'm reading this and applying it to the many seasons we go through because this feels familiar. So very well written. Marcy |

I love a good sonnet...and I really really love this one. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |
