        A Love to Talk Against Time

Red and orange Sugar Maple Leaves
rustle in the evening sunset wind
and dance their final falling arabesques.
A loon cries out its sorrows on the day
and Autumn passing, across this forest
   lake of dreams.
The rising-crescent moon carves its
slice of star field splendor from
an infinitely deep and boundless
cosmic tapestry of endless mysteries.
Though we were together but a little while,
I thought our love would last, beyond
the relentless wheels of fate or destiny,
   to talk against Time
and never fade like the morning dew.
Though others can perhaps forget you,
I shall be haunted always by your beautiful
ghost passing through the lonely shadows
marshaled for such occasions by the night.

Clearly the best of yours I've read SHDP.

The lovely accents of the surrounds in your opening lines gently blend into the more personal remembrances.

The seasons always return to us.


Big 88's on a most pleasurable read.

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".
