Breaking Fast

I know winter’s bite

for summer chimes were struck
by the last leaves falling

I measured two tablespoons
of malt
and two thirds cup water
for my meal,

melding my summer warm
into a bowl

amidst the howl of gone

and returned
to my poetry,

to pen promises
of return.

yaeh, "promises of return," lovely!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I was struck by the picture and the words...they compliment each other so well...the return is the promise I wait for..

...believe what your heart feels...

Hot coffee and a warm fire go well with this write. Promises of returning to a comfort in your mind....I Really enjoyed every last drop.

..."amidst the howl of gone"--very effective!

Written with such a delicate touch.
Enjoyed the fruits of your pen once again!
