Passing By Summer

Warm the sun, first to enthrall then vanquish
Paring back the leaves of spring, to sullen husk
Broad yellow faces hung head, to wither
Was it a lie, the warmth that was
Or did the day deceive me in it’s dawning

To hold the crumbling soil in my hands
Though tears will not renew its potential
And I still see the beauty of the first bloom
As I look lovingly back and hold higher
The intent of every hope as falls from the stem

Lovely Kathleen...just beautiful.
Hugs~Nancy

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

Oh no...summer cannot pass by so quickly!
Not when my roses still have blooms to
bare...



Beautiful work, Kathleen!

we shall till the soil
what is something without work
without pain?

you see what truly matters,
the moment so valuable
