As though frozen in time
this heart lie dormant
awaiting  the coming season
of change…

when life, in cycles
rearranges

     Time found us there
       amidst the fall

Hues of Autumn
did not dare compare
to the colors of you

   and I..

I dared not to look
beyond this day
for only time could see
what these few precious
moments would be.

I in daze, yet awake
still feel    this dream

how your brush
stroked my soul
in artistic touch

your pallet held shades
unknown to me

and even now
amber rays float down
leaving slight touch of warm
on pale of skin
too long touched
by winters kiss

In glance,
a gaze now turned upward
towards heaven

eyes wide open
             the truth of you
stares back at me.

The season’s splendor
has shown its grace
and I would linger
in                 this special place

knowing it would only
make more difficult
the journey back
to an ice queens lair

a palace void
from shed of tears

crystallized, frozen in time
         {echoes of when, heard in rhyme}
to only glisten
by sun kissed visions
               of  remember

  I met you there
            at the edge of September

when Autumn melted me
with the colors of
your fall.

Gentle Spirit, Your September pallet vibrates in vermillions and blues.  The last line leaves such an echo.  Lovely.

this was annointing
your poetic muse describing 3 D. hues...creating the flow like motion of an aura of life...incredible, delightful and a read that gets nicely tucked under the skin of the reader to savor throughout the day.

Lovely writing, Donna.

I am glad for the edge of September and to  begin to feel its crispness once again.
