Before the frosted window’s pane,
his eyes gazed deep into the reflection
of age’s years...a tear welled, shimmering
in reflect of a star’s light.

What hath thou wrought?  Which path
awaits the worn and weary soul?  Whose
words shall touch the weathered ear?

He stood, straining against gravity which
carried the world’s weight upon burdened
shoulders and sighed, softly....a light
dust of frost misting the pane,   and he
remembered...thinking back to years when
the fires raged and laughter rang....when
a touch stirred the pink and blushed passions
of youth and a kiss, a soft delicate kiss became a
torrid mix of honeysuckle dew.

A time when hands hung together and swung
eagerly, when whispered thoughts brought
giggles and a rage of heart and blood coursed
every vein...waiting, wanting, needing to
share the warm smooth skin...as ripples
rose and fell...as night waited to see that
which only their hands could see in the
pale dim light of a crescent moon...

And now, lightly tracing the frosted pane, a tear
mixing with nature’s dew...as a memory
carries a worn and weary soul down memory
lane...until a white dove flies and Heaven’s
light shines...just once...for him
