I wrote this one some time ago--forgive me, but I needed to remember what it felt like. Here goes: Autumn Breeze Surprised, I knew, like a tickling sneeze twitching in my nose. I saw your eyes, so much like mine... (yes, I think they were my own.) How can this be? An Autumn breeze? Dusting blood-sweat from my brow? I need to build a kite to fly if I can remember how. Calloused feet stifling heat-- we need a blanket spread. There--a magnolia come, and I'll show you a place to rest your head. Autumn breeze, don't tease me, please... (We both know it's July.) Two pairs of feet grip hot streets as four eyes search the sky. This moment now let's make no vows while these autumn breezes blow. I'll be content with no intent of malice when you go. Changes of season are instinct--not reason; let us build a kite and float. 'Fore winter freezes turn sweet breezes into cold familiar snow. Then I'll desire the heat of a fire, searching for a warmer coat. Shivering, remembering how Autumn breezes blow. |

Serenity- This is soooooo pretty. Autumn breezes are lovely on the skin and you portrayed them beautifully. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

What a beautiful feeling! When the moment passes, we can hold tight to the memories. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |
