time shifts again ...and again

the stars are out in full tonight

the moon just floating along ...i can only imagine

to be on the moon looking at the earth

as the fall is here now

winter is fast

frosting then the snow  ....the arctic air

canada air cold breaths

cloaks the northern tipped fingers of the mitt

hidden hearts underneath thick coats

beat warm within the cream tone skin

when the past remembers us

the way we were then

something calls in the southern winds

feathers of the flock that flew away

every years the same ...nests to make on the island beaches

birds are brighter than my cold hands

leaves on my doorstep

greeting me with gold and crimson

have hope they say to me

as they blow away

Your poem is just absolutely exquisite and I quickly clicked to keep it in my library .... the soft melancholy and then the uplifting message of hope in the end.

Touched me deeply.

Love, Margherita
