In the Autumn ofMy Years Old man winter whispers Frosty fall wind incantations Upon the once verdant meadows Where the fawns grazed And wild horses pranced Carefree on fine spring days I whirl and spin , a crisp fall dance My only witness A lone prickly cactus Competing for the glow of sun I remember our long walks On warm spring garden path Scented with fragrant pines And wild flowers And afterwards; Where we conversed for hours intimate moments by fireside, silent music of our hearts beating a love song while you kissed me eyes, full of promise so sweet and tender, warming my soul as I remember in the autumn of my years Poetry is: Passion, imagination and intellect running together. Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa [This message has been edited by CSKpoet (11-18-2002 12:44 AM).] |

Cher, you spoke with such eloquence and directly to my soul. You dear poetess, age with such grace and have been blessed with memorable springs. I believe that there are four seasons in each of the four seasons of our lives--so you have many springtimes yet to enjoy! They may not be as verdant, but they will be of a richer, golden green...

Blooming Rose: Many of my romantic poems are based on memories more often than not....I am a dreamer Thanks for your words Earth Angel: I am in love with a man who makes me feel like spring.. That is all that matters... Sometimes when we are young we don't really evaluate properly in our relationships the realities and truthof the whole person... Lust is mistaken for love and is an empty endeavor... As we mature it is possible to truly love, if we have truly allowed truth to mature us. Thanks for your always wise words and kindness. Enchantress: I am pleased that this touched you as I can identify with so many of your poems in all of their richness We shall all just grow into better and better poets as we grow... Big hugs to you all, Cher Poetry is: |

Fall forces introspection and there's nothing wrong with that. The trick is to shine on those better memories. Enjoyed. |

autumn seems to almost mourn for summer and spring in your mind. but do not ignore the glory of storms or falling leaves golden red and yellow. -majnu |

Cher, that is how it should be....though you may be in the autumn of your years, when you are made to feel as though spring is here, nothing more can be asked for... nor needed... Beautiful words and a smile on my lips for ya! |
