Listening to every heart

It is
Almost…...spring,
I know one thing,
Mine has swept away
Even though I
Had a say, participated, held it
Like a child,
Holding water in tightly cupped hands,
Tasting…...life…...

Then summer,
She came to play,
Then having had her day…
Now, she
Leaves behind her cardinal,
Just so I may
Hear the redbird sing,
To know it’s spring
Albeit someone else’s day

I hold hands
With me, standing betwixt
Fall’s Winter
Still…... holding……on

Loving

Wanting

More

But it is Your spring
And Your summer

Remember

Enjoy!

Do not rush pleasures…...

Relish

All

Karilea, this is sooo beautiful and yet...a sense of longing as though comparing seasons with the stages of ones life.  Now I feel a little sad...guess I still want it to be MY summer..if it can't be spring.  And yet I know it is fall as far as years go now...
The trick is to enjoy every moment of it!
Oh, I'm going to have a cup of tea and go outside and skip, come join me!

~Hugs, Nancy~

So that you won't ever forget me~

Sunshine, you have beautifully captured my soul. Every second I am all seasons, living together, fused into one breath, one step, one me. I'm cold, I'm hot, I'm cool I'm warm, all at the same time. Wheeeeeee! It's like getting a sunburn skiing naked. At 69.

Thanks for capturing these feelings.

(sigh) I too felt some sort of yearning behind these words as in wanting to crawl between one season to get to the other, but this is soooooooo beautiful too and shines with the sunshine your heart always casts! (kiss on cheek) Sooooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, may we all cherish each moment and find pleasure in each season! We all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

As I speak, all of my azaleas are in full bloom and the grass is green.  It's 71 degrees.  I enjoyed your poem very much, Karilea.  Each season has something to offer.
