That spring We were both looking for warmth And the sun wanted to hide Behind piled clouds Playing hide and seek with Us mere mortals. A Friday free So we drove 150 miles on back roads Bouncing over ruts while talking Philosophy and feelings mingled With stops to stretch legs Along with our minds. We found the river bluff Quite by accident it seemed And the mossy patch we sat on Was almost too cold But jackets used as cushions Kept the chill from seeping in. You suggested a fire, So I started to rise and search for wood, But you took my hand leading it instead To the warmth under your shirt Igniting a fire we kept warm by Later, stretched out on discarded clothes We let the peek-a-boo sun warm winter skin drying the moisture condensed From our steam. The fire went out much later But I still remember Spring [This message has been edited by Cpat Hair (edited 08-24-2001).] |

This is beautiful! Very very visual...excellent write! "The fire went out much later But I still remember Spring" Touched my hopelessly romantic heart, it did! Loved it, Nancy Lee. ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

The descriptions put me right there -- such are the snapshots of life. Makes me curious about other pictures in this roll of film... -MVS "It's all in the details -- the Big Picture always takes care of itself." |

Capt--In the numerous ways to keep warm, you found the best on the bluff. Wonderful poem! |

Back roads lead to the best places...even if the road eventually ends. Your poetry helps me to remember in love, at least a little more than I remember in pain. (If that makes any sense at all) |
