Softly petals fall
   {this rose wilting}
floating on shimmering pond.

Lily pads drift by
{like memories of time}

I lose myself
in flickers of light
pirouetting on waters edge

reflections of the past
{when you loved me}

in soft want this sigh
      escapes
my heart

yesterday slips away

{images fade}

and I cling
to the warmth
you have left
    in my soul...

It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...
{Trace Adkins}

Donna, with your gentle, poetic talent, you are able to convey that there is a certain sweetness even in melancholia.

oh man ... heart drumming in my ears, pounding in my chest, wanting to cry "I love you, I love you!" for anyone who could remain in yesterday - for you.

Absolutely beautiful, beautiful write GS, and I did not "sugar coat" this comment.

Donna,  you and your poem,  this poem in
particular...  are certainly well matched
with your pen name...  You are a gentle
spirit...who writes so gently...touching
our spirit.

==========================

very lovely Donna,  a bit different from your classic rhymes.... I like this style on your pen, a beautiful, delicate offering.

You're the color of the sky reflected in each store-front window pane ...
You're the whispering and the sighing of my tires in the rain.

Hi, Gentle Spirit!

This work is beautiful.

I like the mood it creates.

"in soft want this sigh
escapes
my heart"

Oft do I experience this to be so.

Cordially,

it has blown in the past with
its crutch its old age and its widsom
it whispers no this won't be the last

Oh Jesus Donna, I do this all the time
My God your words are beauty

and yes so bittersweet indeed
Much Love
