Poetry - Fifty Years Gone

Insomnia strikes me from time to time and last month was no exception. During these times I sometimes don't remember what I write and like today, I come across a file and wonder how it got there. The following was obviously inspired by my in-laws approaching 50th wedding anniversary, which was beautiful, by the way.

Fifty years gone
Promises and vows of long ago
Not remembered but lived
Youthful dreams relinquished
Family grows and pales
Youthful vigor slides away
Leaving only fraility
And two hearts sitting close
Moving to and fro on their own
But on the same path
Till death do us part

Inspired by Blue

Blue, blue and more blue

A blue heart

It's one of my favorite colours; not one of my favorite feelings

Once in a Blue Moon

The colour of our earth & our oceans,

the colour of our sky

the way I see the world

Blue

Spring is in the Air

Spring is in the air-its a cliche, I know, but there is no doubt this season is inspiring!

pregnant raindrops

She breathed deeply and rode the scent of lilacs back in time to her Grandmother's attic....

His gift was well-meaning. The bouquet was made of tulips all in the state of vibrant glory just before they fade.

Happy Spring!
