Every night as the sun goes down and daylight turns to dusk I hear the mournful message in the cicadas song It tells me of my own true love and how he's waiting there Under the stars at the edge of the woods Where the crickets play their tune He waits for me with open arms to tenderly draw me near And kiss away the loneliness of time and miles that keep us apart A stolen weekend wonder spent under the starry sky A chance to touch and taste and love A leap of faith, a dare to win A love that was meant to be Written in the cicadas song And sung endlessly. |

Paula~ You've painted a lovely scene. And I can just hear Serenity and The Cicadas playing in the background. Sure puts a smile on my face. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Paula, This was heart felt. I seem to feel everything you write........distance is so very hard sometimes...they say the heart knows not distance only love........I wish nothing but hapiness for you as thats what you deserve. Thank you also for your comment on my last poem......it ment alot. There has been talk as of late how a poet can be whomever they please when they write......I always take it for granted we all write what is happening in our lives.......so in case you are a "whomever".... whomever you are when you write....I LOVE IT!!!!!!! Smiles to you...... Jenn E Jenn E |
