Thoughts of You
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

As I lie listless
beneath willow tree,
In leafy shade
of its canopy,

I sip sweet tea
on cubes of ice,
With twist of fresh
lemon slice.

Sweet Williams scent
the balmy air,
Stirring memories
of love so fair.

The skies of summer
are hazy blue,
As I lose myself
in thoughts of you…

Hi, lily! Hi, lily! Hi, lo! ~ "The song of love is a sad song". Music Note

Yes, sitting with you under a "willow" tree would be lovely. I'll make some sun tea for us to sip!

As I lie listless
beneath willow tree,
In leafy shade
of its canopy,


this gave me such a peaceful feeling

I sip sweet tea
on cubes of ice,
With twists of fresh
lemon slice.

refreshing start of thought

Sweet Williams scent
the balmy air,
Stirring memories
of love so fair.


never again, will I look at the sweet williams in our back yard the same...perfect

The skies of summer
are hazy blue,
As I lose myself
in thoughts of you…

a brave and mature way of looking at things
and yes, indeed lady poetess, it is those good thoughts which lend the heart substance...

thoroughly enjoyed!

May love and light always shine upon you!

such a beautiful gathering of words and
images to stir the soul and bring to grasp
a pen,  yearning to explore and speak
loudly...once again.

Noah ~

I do believe it is all about timing! For every rhyme there is a reason! ~ A perfect time ~ a perfect season! It is just that divine time often takes longer than we "Earthlings" would like! lol

Love you, angel boy!
