Gathered years bound together
with silken ribbons of time
pages of hellos and some of good-byes
mementoes of days in early spring
when we filled our arms
with long-stemmed flowers
of forever and everlasting
perennials of what lay ahead
and after the rain we picked
bouquets of vibrant annuals
their variety endless
summer found us
romping in fields of green
knowing nothing was ever as this
and as the trees began to turn
to autumn’s vibrant hues
we gathered leaves and put them
between pages of disappearing youth
now we feel the chill of winter
and we wonder...
where did all the flowers go
as we face the lack of tomorrows
and place yesterday securely
in pages of memory
and set out to find one more
field of blooming affirmation
for that inevitable day
when it will all be bound together
with the unraveling ribbons of time.

Gorgeous poem. Youth is fleeting but you brought about so many emotions that we encounter, and the memories that are made along the way. Your unraveling ribbons give hope to what is yet to come.

Very much enjoyed reading your poetry this afternoon.

Welcome~
