Seashores & Seasons of Memories & Longing*

Heady scent of memories
Whiff of gentle summer breeze


My youth I remember fondly now
Regrets bade a long farewell
silently
unobtrusively
My mouth agape
I listen


Crackling sound of happiness
Soothe slivers of winter air


My maturity I recognized auspiciously
Bitterness introduced itself
succinctly
repeatedly
My heart deflects
I see


Kaleidescope of love
Blooming in the spritely spring

My life stands before me
Hope greets me with a smile
graciously
faithfully
My mind wanders
I feel


Smoothness of time and space
Grasping bonds of fiery fall


My future floats on the horizon
Balance took my hand
gingerly
gently
My being lightened
I am
