Quiet Rememberance |

I gaze across the horizon the sunshine warms my face, my mind slowly drifts away to another time, another place. We walked along softly talking, laughing, and holding hands. Your eyes searched into my soul while I feel deeper into a trance. With you I felt so many things that I had never felt before, there were so many mixed emotions and still, there was so much more. You showed me how to trust, how to take, and not just give. You taught me the realities of love, while my spirit learned to live. These gifts I hold here in my heart, and in my heart they shall always stay. Today I contemplate about tomorrow, in quiet rememberance of yesterday. Enjoy life...this is NOT a dress rehearsal. *s* |

I really like this ending! Great work! These gifts I hold here in my heart, and in my heart they shall always stay. Today I contemplate about tomorrow, in quiet rememberance of yesterday. The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

"How to take and not just give.." Loved this line, imagine a lover teaching one how to take and not just give. The thought alone makes me shiver. Wonderful writing. Kate Be blessed! Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. |
