Silver Shine You Were Mine

Silver shine
you were mine when
meeting at the breaker
meant too many things.
When tangled tassles
blew from you and
smiles took a ride on
salted air wings.
You were mine then
and again in the snowy
pastures flat and full
of nature's pull and
simple sang through
mouths untied, I tried and
you flew with feathers
built of fear.
I never cared, for
tasteless times and
meaningless hours, for
happy showers of false.
I never ate the seeds on
hours latest trial
or swallowed fights
with fists of salt or sin.
You were mine on
yesterday's blanket
on rewindings of tomorrow's
day of things my way of
hammered prints in satin
tins in tastings of the day.
Silver shine,
you were mine then.

Hi SF.....
           I loved it from beginning to end, but this phrase is still singing in my head:
  "you were mine on yesterday's blanket"
What a great line, one to think on.......
              This was a great read!!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

you outshine yourself.

You have forged yourself an armour of shining words in this piece.  Loved it all but expecially the following words.

I never cared, for
tasteless times and
meaningless hours, for
happy showers of false.
I never ate the seeds on
hours latest trial
or swallowed fights
with fists of salt or sin.
You were mine on
yesterday's blanket
on rewindings of tomorrow's
day of things my way of
hammered prints in satin
tins in tastings of the day.
Silver shine,
you were mine then.

A great read! It made me think of some times long past.

This is so pretty and wistful ...

'You were mine on
yesterday's blanket
on rewindings of tomorrow's
day of things my way of
hammered prints in satin
tins in tastings of the day.
Silver shine,
you were mine then.'


What lovely visuals you've captured and shared.
