After All This Time

~ a heartprint ~

After all this time...

 

the white calla lilies still stand proud

against the multicolored palette of roses

warming the worn cobblestone path

 

as the morning breeze

weaves the song of time

                                effortlessly

ruffling the branches of the old willow tree

 

and I’m here

curled up in memories

watching a cascade

                                 of dew kissed morning glories

                                             dance through mother’s garden

 

if it weren’t for the shadows in the sky

                                  raining on my heart

                        it would be just as she had left it…

I love it, just love it and beauty of it paints a gorgeous picture without the painting (dreaming that's me, hehehe) The somber ending is beautiful and if is it true for certain she is proud of you. Everytime I come here, I know peace and calm is awaiting tickled and freckled with the most beautiful words. Thank you so much again.

Thank you for your lovely comment and compliment. :) Julie

All true: it' like silence comes over the room, and I must read slowly and always, a sigh and a smile. You are very good at this!! Stop writing..."Something I squibbled, silly girl." Beautiful poetry plain and simple! Have confidence; you must know how wonderful your writing is.

[MsJewel]

They are scribbles Dale - scribbles and heartprints....It isn't lack of confidence, it is just what it is....You are very sweet. thank you :)

[Confuser]

Hope I didn't say anything wrong; it is a beautiful talent; and I could try for the rest of my life and could never, ever write like you do. FACT! Maybe that's one reason why I love it all the more.

[MsJewel]

You are so sweet Dale. You could never say anything wrong... I am humbled by your very generous compliment. Julie

what a nice break from all the chaos on the site...reading a love poem with a light air of romance and nature mixed in for good measure. This is what we are here for...the words, the poems, the support of other poets.
as martin luther said "i have a dream!"

some of the lines (no, most) are incredibly beautiful. I get the impression that you have a bottomless coffer full of expressions like: curled up in memory. and all you have to do is dip in and effortlessly stitch it into your poem. scrumptious.

[MsJewel]

Thank you my kind friend :) julie
