<p>In the twilight<br />
of my memory<br />
we met once more<br />
there, in the garden<br />
just before dawn<br />
you feasted on me<br />
petal by petal<br />

my fiery inner core<br />
devoured me slowly<br />
left me<br />
wanting you<br />

Time stood still
&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;One afternoon
on a crisp, fall day
&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;leaves crunched
the muted colors
&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;on cobblestones
took center stage
&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;and the sun’s glow
‘til darkness came
&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;formed shadows behind &#8230;]]></description>

Weeping Willow

Proud I stand
among the trees
with beauty admired
yet seldom touched
My arms extend to welcome you
and with each breath
I reach for you
You &#8230;]]></description>

<p>Proud I stand<br />
among the trees<br />
with beauty admired<br />
yet seldom touched<br />
My arms extend to welcome you<br />
and with each breath<br />
I reach for you<br />
You turn away<br />
I stand alone<br />
and shallow pools<br />
beneath me form<br />
I am alone<br />
among the trees<br />
a weeping willow<br />
in the breeze</p>

Winter Song

Beautiful memories

<p><strong>Winter Song</strong><br />
<strong>By Vicki VanArsdale</strong><br />
Response</p>
<p>Children raised<br />
Husband, gone<br />
house  cleaned<br />
chores, done</p>
<p>Beautiful memories<br />
of a life well lived<br />
But what about me,<br />
where do I fit?</p>
<p>With misty eyes<br />
and salted lips<br />
I search for the swagger<br />
of my hips</p>
<p>To the sound of the gulls<br />
I move along<br />
Staccato, Legato<br />
a beautiful song</p>
<p>I dance with the waves<br />
as they gently kiss shore<br />
like a long lost lover<br />
leave me yearning for more</p>
<p>Crescendo, diminuendo<br />
footprints in the sand<br />
one step closer<br />
to finding me again</p>
