Like Fall It's only cold when the wind blows hard, or when I stand still, or when you're not here, so I long for the sun to come up soon so the frost on my heart will disappear. I really should know better by now. This is merely an addiction. Winter only makes it worse and summer is a contradiction. I keep picking up the phone to call, knowing that it's not right at all. I'm useless to stop the wind from blowing like I cannot stop the love from flowing and now it feels a bit like Fall. |

I love how you put that in about picking up tthe phone to call, but it really wasn't right...but it was something you just had to do, but... good job. |

It's only cold when the wind blows hard, or when I stand still, or when you're not here, If you hadn't written another line, I would have been glad I stopped in... for you wrote my heart with these. *S* Excellent poem... the whole thing! *G* |

Dixie, this is such a touching and emotive write ~ and so poetically expressed! "so I long for the sun to come up soon so the frost on my heart will disappear." ~ Oh, yes, I too have felt that way. Thank goodness, my own shadows have passed.  "I really should know better by now. This is merely an addiction." ~ You are wiser than you give yourself credit for. A beautiful piece of writing.

I definitely can relate to this. As a matter of fact it often seems as if there's only one season in my life, and that would be fall, where everything seems to fall apart on me. I wish we humans could have more control of our lives, instead of being blown about like so much tumbleweed. The only thing that sometimes consoles me is when I see other tumbleweed blowing by beside me. Now, THAT is sad, isn't it? To thy own self be true |

I really should know better by now. This is merely an addiction - a toast, sweet friend poet, to your words. Pretty brilliantly expressed. |
