Today
on here
I came across a story
of a blind man,
not receiving much
in his hand hungry cup

a passerby poet, noticed
replaced his sign
with poetic words
to feed his needs
to overflowing care
it said:

"Today is the first day of spring
and I cannot see its beauty"

this touched me
and I thought
what about now,
Winter
and it's cold
are here

and yesterday
as the first flakes
had begun to fall
I thought of the words
captured in my mind
a replacement
for this season of change:

"Today the first snowflakes rested
And all I could do
was feel their kisses and imagine
the beauty of their fall."

~Wynter deeply inspired by your softness, Daniel

There are moments ...
when I Love you
beyond the limits of my human heart ...

...you will always be mine.

This is so tender and beautiful!!! I love the kisses from the snowflakes in your poem. I'm so chilled this morning that I only want to read about them, though. I should be warmed as I am not one who is outside in the real cold.

I understand you replied to an accedental double post of mine that I had deleted. "Whassup?" I didn't get it read before it was deleted. If you have time and desire to re-reply, I'd value your input.

Thanks for this lovely piece.

What a wonderful verse of tender joy. You have penned a real beauty that is sure to reach the hearts of many and your inspiration came from one that does the same with his poetry so applause to the both of you.

Janet Marie- thank you for reading

Dreamseeker- and you,

thank you for a nice poetic response..there are many times, I feel like walking away..when I see the stories of how some people today have jobs and are using sympathy to make more money..but this one of Daniel's really touched me.
