Tender Mercies~

You were the love of yesternight,
You were the language of August,
Steamy and river-lazy,
An awakening long thought dormant,
Fevered in those dog-days,
Sweetly stained mulberry, and
Heart bruised.

You slipped in quietly on midnight floorboards,
Stayed till the golden hour fell into sawdust...
Till cold crept small of back.

Now, in the middle of nowhere
She makes tasty fudge,
Creates Poem titles that drip from a crescent moon,
While the rumor of Spring scratches
Just beneath dunes of diamond dust.

Winter has but a few sleeps left
Til the great thaw transforms into sweet rains..
A melodic drenching she revels in,
Green eyes
upon Green,
Hope,
Endures.

A blessing to see you here, ~Sky. Always amazes me how your touches on nature and season can relate so well to other aspects in life.

Poet Paul..Good to see you too,
I've been buried in the white-stuff lol, finally going to start to melt a little
after this 1 or 2 inches on Sunday.

Thanks for the read & reply..

Well..Thank you Michael..not often I'm referred to as a 'blessing'.

Don't know why..but nature seems to seep
in there.

Thanks..
