Reminder By Melissa Honeybee  The scarlet coat of a robin dances vibrant as tiger-tail butterfly wings waltz in air, the enchanting sweet song of a thrush serenades rainbows on windowpanes, sunflowers of marigold dazzle reach ever high into the aquamarine sky greeting early stars of dusk as they glisten through a romantic mist, doves of cream feather circle in flight of fancy free while clouds form hearts of reverie calling cherry blossoms to pirouette dressed in pink sheath of heaven sent as nature's most regal ballet dancer divine, bells of angels chime throughout the hills of paradise as a bride and her groom gaze into each other's eyes, tenderly, love breathes it's tidings everywhere, so, I wear a smile, swallow my tears and place my dreams into the dusty coffin of my hopechest trying to silence the pain of reminder that I am... alone  |

beauty resting atop such sadness I too have a hopechest, a dusty one with memories of promises now broken never quite thought of it as a coffin I'd like to say please don't think of yours as such, yet, perhaps some of the memories are to be laid to rest that life may begin to flower anew, as if spring has reached your life. |

Melissa~ You have just done the most beautiful job on the imagery in this haunting melancholy piece. You're never alone when in the circle of loving friendship here. *Hugs* to you, sweet poet ! ~*Marge*~  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
