In the far off someplace else you dream with the tongue of a smile that hides in the corner of your mouth then wakes me with crushed leaves Movement is in the air wearing the changing of time as the scurry things hide from light and the last leaf whispers past the window drunk on a beginning My sweater hangs quietly in the closet of last winter still holding the clouds pull waiting for usefulness to begin Did you find me in the warmth where the pillow held the contour long past my leaving with your own daylight dreaming? I wonder where the photo was taken of your crinkled blue eyes filled with something that was a gift where I could see so much time become new and how can I tell you now long past that hour of my memory so ripe and ready to read the slip of paper wrapped in love that still holds to the feeling that I do taste the honey as it creeps into morning and longs for the changing though it still lingers in good night It travels so fast you see past a dream and midnight cover to awaken groggy and stuck but almost here |

Elizabeth pretty much said it all for me. I am pleased as all get out to see you posting here again. This one, as most of yours are, gives so much to reflect upon. ~*~ All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. ~*~ |

Hi Liz and Jerry…Happy New year. I wrote this poem in November after a fairly long dry spell. I'm so glad that you both enjoyed it. |

Love the photo reference. It's amazing the power an old photo emits. Powerful writing here... the emotion pours through it. Michael |
