Marigolds
--------------------------------------------------
Sometimes sitting silently
thoughts of you slip softly through my mind,
like sounds of summer evenings shared –
the caress of your voice and the wind through the pines.
--------------------------------------------------
Embraces shared without a word
while moonlight bathed our souls,
linger with me through the years –
a pressed red rose between lines of prose.
--------------------------------------------------
The birds still sing down by the lake
like so many years ago,
but a touch of sadness fills their songs –
somehow they seem to know.
--------------------------------------------------
Since your beauty left this world
the warmth of summer's glow,
lies hidden with the marigolds –
beneath the winter snow.
