unseasonal weather

still covered with leaves
branches snap into action
wearing winter’s coat

with fire in the sky
during the summer solstice
water poured like gold

glistening in the darkness,
falling tears of hope.

and choosing never to read
no real difference

defend it and offer it
allow it to grow

nature can imprison it
free yourself in spring

An eternal memory

A rose remains fresh
imbedded in hearts and minds
will last a life time

the wise know it is priceless

Mosquitoes buzzing my ears
only fear their bite

but the dreamer follows time

an eternal conflict

tender moments come to mind
of promises made.
