Softer Times

~ just a scribble ~

art by Richard Johnson

 

 

 

~~~

Of a hill in veils of white

and a verse in gentle rhyme

dancing on a breeze of light

petals float the winds of time

 

Catch a few in grateful hands

a bouquet to smile with me

as in clouds of pink I stand

wrapped in your sweet memory

 

Clouds that seem to never rain

weaving flecks of sun and shade

in a vignette where the pain

is softer as edges fade

 

Just as soft, the tide below

pastel skies, it dances too

I watch the smooth ebb and flow

dreaming I could dance with you

 

Weave a verse in gentle rhyme

to dance with love and as light

as memories, softer times

of clouds in pink, hills in white

this one made me tear up...i just found this tin i had in an old box...and it has several old pictures in it...

several of my best friend i lost in a fire back in 1984...made me so sad seeing her again in those pics, but also brought a smile...and an old love also in those pics...also passed years ago of cancer.
we have memories, pictures in our mind...and strong feelings of reminders of them...this poem transported me back...and reconnected me.

Jewels,,,, it is always such a pleasure to read your poetry
the way you express yourself in rhyme
and the sweet and simple tale of love or romance
are the things that make poetry such a beautiful way to share
ones thoughts, emotions and feelings.

This poem flows that soft and leaves me with a smile in my heart.

HUGGS. ... Trace

Just as soft, the tide below
pastel skies, it dances too
