First Flight

Remember
what our ten-year-old
love
felt like
that heat-laden afternoon
when we held hands
a first time
and stopped along the pond
to watch a red-wing
in the rushes
observing us
from its reedy perch
swaying,
as if prying
that tender moment
into our deep hearts
for a lifetime--
or was it only in mine?

from: Along the Way

Beautiful.

Take care.....Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

I hope this poem signals a rebirth. We need poets like you, with the insight to create a worthwhile poem and the maturity to make it be all it can be.

Post again....soon. Meanwhile I'm bookmarking your site.
