Thoughts of You ~ Linda L. Dowd ~
As I lie listless beneath willow tree, In leafy shade of its canopy,
I sip sweet tea on cubes of ice, With twist of fresh lemon slice.
Sweet Williams scent the balmy air, Stirring memories of love so fair.
The skies of summer are hazy blue, As I lose myself in thoughts of you…

Hi, lily! Hi, lily! Hi, lo! ~ "The song of love is a sad song".
Yes, sitting with you under a "willow" tree would be lovely. I'll make some sun tea for us to sip!

As I lie listless beneath willow tree, In leafy shade of its canopy,
this gave me such a peaceful feeling
I sip sweet tea on cubes of ice, With twists of fresh lemon slice.
refreshing start of thought
Sweet Williams scent the balmy air, Stirring memories of love so fair.
never again, will I look at the sweet williams in our back yard the same...perfect
The skies of summer are hazy blue, As I lose myself in thoughts of you…
a brave and mature way of looking at things and yes, indeed lady poetess, it is those good thoughts which lend the heart substance...
thoroughly enjoyed!

(smiles) This is sooooooo pretty, sweet friend, you truly are a poetic angel, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!
May love and light always shine upon you!

such a beautiful gathering of words and images to stir the soul and bring to grasp a pen, yearning to explore and speak loudly...once again.

Noah ~
I do believe it is all about timing! For every rhyme there is a reason! ~ A perfect time ~ a perfect season! It is just that divine time often takes longer than we "Earthlings" would like! lol
Love you, angel boy! Linda
