And the Answer is...

You and I blew past the floor

and out the door past Springtime,

Slowing down

around that lane of commitment,

Thinking each new day

would carry us through

Years passed

without a look back,

Beneath us lie intentions

quiet and compact,

All without sound

scattered around,

left undone

So, what now

as we sit here in Summer.

Fall lingers in the shadows

whispering softly,

'Winter is near'...

A lot said in the short poetry.
"So, what now
as we sit here in Summer.
Fall lingers in the shadows
whispering softly,
'Winter is near'..."
The above lines. So good. Coldness of Winter can kill all possibilities of a Indian Summer. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Make the most of the summer and autumn or waste it with wonderings. Still the poet of love I see...Well you are only getting better. Hope all is well!

[Alisa Js]

Thank you for your time and comments...my intention was that this was a metaphor about life's journey...I wasn't really thinking about romantic love...interesting...😍😻

[Perdition]

Oh..well to me Life's journey is a love that must run romantic if it is to run at all.

[Alisa Js]

That is true, my friend,,,,very true indeed...for without love, we are nothing but empty shells...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

beautiful use of seasons to express the various stages of a love that lasts ....and will carry you through winter as well.

[Alisa Js]

This was intended to be a metaphor about life....that was my intention

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and love is part of life...

.a beautiful poem...the metaphor works so well.

[Alisa Js]

You are correct, thank you
