CHILL


weaving a skiff
through deciduous forest

icy tentacles of limbs
shedding frostiness

coating the air
with frigid crystals

i think of your “Good-bye.”

Inspired by a screen saver
on my desktop

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Let's hear it for the screen savers of the world . . . I only had to look up "deciduous," but otherwise I think I got the gist of the write. Linking falling leaves, icy tentacles and frigid crystals with his goodbye said it all . . .

If they give you ruled paper write sideways.

and to think the "Good-bye_ was 31 years ago

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Matters not apparently. We carry our memories don't we, good or bad, we carry the ones that mean the most.

Thanks, Jo, for reading and for your comment. Very appreciated as all are.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
