Waiting on Winter to Warm My Soul


Improve on nothing,
in your living.
But I ask:
forget me never…
And,
Know that in my heart
my love for you
will be forever…

As those silent snowflakes
you speak of
fall,
so do my tears,
for your forgiveness.
And,
Know that my heart is yours
for you did
conquered all…

Yet,
for now,
I have nowhere to hide
this zeal for you.
It appears in my dreams
and in nameless
love songs
and poems
I sing for you…

As do whispers
faintly falling at the shore
in those snowflakes you see
just outside your door…
Put your hand out
catch one and believe
it is my heart melting
just for you to see
my soul’s love for you
is deep within me…

Each Spring and Summer
the rain storms can remind
you too…
If you will think of me then
I will certainly be thinking of you…

But,
until then,
I will be waiting on winter,
to once again,
be with you.
To hold memories close
in my heart,
memories, which warm me
through a cold wintry snow.
Memories of
winter with you there
to console…

Waiting on winter,
and you,
to again
warm my soul…

JL, Sir...

for several reasons
I am placing this in my library
to remember not only winter
but several other matters
in the way
that
matters...

and I thank you, Poet,
for this little gift that takes on
particular meaning to me
this beginning of winter.

Thank you.

Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen?  Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises...

Ah, very nicely done -

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

BEAUTIFUL!
