Reminiscence


If only I could sit awhile
as once; so long ago,
where diamonds sailed that misty stream
and gentle winds did blow,
as soothing tones on air did drift
and hovered on the breeze,
while minutes paused to tarry there
among tall cypress trees.

A sacredness would soon ensue
and rouse; my slumbering soul,
bursting forth with brand new thoughts
while rearranging old,
As respect, with longing lingers,
new vistas, come alive!
dreamy thoughts, with rosy glasses
would then beset my eyes.

If only I could steal a look
into; the eyes of thee
and silent watch you from afar,
your heart would speak to me.
while subtle whispers, rode the wind
and breezed into my ear
reviving any doubts I had,
that you, still thought me dear.

The logs that rest, within this hearth
were laid there with goodwill.
through Winter's chill or Summer's rain
the warmth remains there still
imagine what one glance would do
to stoke what still remains
somehow - I feel, you sense this too
as sure as Joy's my name ...
