In the days
of wide eyed
wonderment
that make up
the Spring of
passing years,
with glee I ran
through forests
and meadows,
chasing dreams
and butterflies.

In the Summer
of my seasons,
with strong legs,
impatient mind
and longing heart,
I ran in pursuit of
fair young maidens
who, with butterfly
grace and Spring
beauty, danced
within my dreams.

In Autumn, I sat
in quiet bliss
alongside my
graceful beauty,
whos love has
granted unto me
perpetual Spring.
Her head resting
on my shoulder
as we watch our
sons run with glee,
in playful pursuit
of dreams fresh.
and butterflies new.

With the approach
of Old Man Winter
the meadow is still.
The joyous laughter
of children has faded,
except for the faint
echoes carried by
the winds of mind.
Blessed now with
no thought of pursuit
I am able to rest in
contentment with my
seasoned dreams.

In the Spring, I come
to the meadow where
I once gave chase,
To sit in stillness
among its blossoms
and with a calm mind,
allow every dream
and each butterfly
to come to me.

Beautiful!!
Each season of our life holds it's own preciousness.
Hugs~Nancy

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.
