Blood Brothers Pink Mimosa shades like umbrella over yard Spilling memory of the dig of youth’s slender arms Feathered and fragile reminders of the cost of time And my curved anticipation waiting to be rhyme Where does one go to hear the hymn of a chorus Of neighborhoods where memory is buried in a forest Where blackberry brambles hold the tattered paperback With pages turned down next to a bottle in a paper sack We slid into the culvert with honey hungry thoughts And touched the satin place of friends forget me not Even bled into each others wounded brotherhood You said though I was just a girl I was still pretty good The culvert’s still a cut of land all filled in redwood trees And blackberries are the jungle land of children still I see And the sweet taste of the fruit of youth lingers on my tongue Where you and I made promise that could never be undone |

You do bring back the haunts of time... and here I am shaking my head, wondering if that was you across the street... |

Unforgotten moments...where promises are made and never broken.... Where many of our memories remain within us to this day....as we smile to some, and possibly shed a tear of sadness to another. Beautiful words, Martie... |

(smiles) Oh Martie, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, though I never grew up during these wonder years, I too envisioned it so much through the nostalgic feel of this and smiled just thinking what it could be like now! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!
