Memories of the Day

When the evening breeze is haunted
By the memories of the day
And the water sounds are muted,
As I walk along the bay.
When the night is quickly falling
And the stars begin to show,
There is comfort in surroundings
I appreciate and know.

Yet, I'm thinking of tomorrow
And the years that stretch ahead.
I'm wondering what they'll bring me
And directions I'll be led.
Then my thoughts go turning backwards
To the years I've spent with you.
How I hope we'll be together
When the future comes in view.

Then quite suddenly, I'm longing
For the sight of your dear face
And the darkness speeds my footsteps
As I hurry to our place,
Where the firelight is cheerful.
Cabin's cozy as can be
And I feel a great crescendo,
When you turn and smile at me!

Hello Betty Lou

It was so very easy to fall in love with your words and the accompanying images I saw.

Take care......Sue

I'm anchored in you

Denise:  Thank you so much for that nice compliment.  I have been fortunate that the small press publishers I have contacted, happened to like my work.  I am always amazed when a new one accepts something, as I am a traditionalist and there is not much demand for that type of poetry today. some publishers won't even read it.  That's why I love this site!  Everyone writes in their own style and it's all accepted and appreciated!  There isn't another site like it that I know of.
