The Beckoning the light lingers today though spring waits a month to come dogs bark hello’s as walkers by soak in the air wash away despair of too cold days too long nights cleansing in sun’s warm washing still dry enough to soothe and not perspire or acquire leathered layer of crepe-paper skin I recall with melancholy our walks up the hill around the bend back when your heart was young enough to love me how many lifetimes ago does anyone know? ©February 18, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

*sigh* Oh gosh...the sadness and yearning in this poem are so powerful...My heart goes out to you for those days that now seem to not be summer any more...**big big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

the light lingers today though spring waits a month to come dogs bark hello’s as walkers by soak in the air wash away despair of too cold days too long nights Spring is near and nowhere is is more welcome than up north here!!! I feel the warmth build in the sun each day. cleansing in sun’s warm washing still dry enough to soothe and not perspire or acquire leathered layer of crepe-paper skin it feels marvelous to be touched by the warmth and not worry of being burnt I recall with melancholy our walks up the hill around the bend back when your heart was young enough to love me how many lifetimes ago does anyone know? the sun did at one time gift us love in its warmth and a golden hue at its peak, now we fear its summer charms and cover our skin in protective creams wonderful poem VAS |
