Mountain Laurels
Summer lingers
Days still sunny and warm
And time, it seems to crawl
As seasons drift to fall
Golden haze hangs over distant fields
Thoughts of you slipping through the veil
Of passing days and hours
While trees hold green a moment more
Mountain laurels dance
By warm breeze swayed
Beneath blue skies
Laced with clouds
And still beside the road
Courses of wild flowers grow
You're like them you know
Unlooked for, beautiful
Thoughts wherever I go
We're like them
We earthbound seekers of heaven
Sun and moon
Which mark the passing time
Dreams and day dreams
Save where sunlight merge with night
Ours the twilight
My light baths your softer glow
Til we dissolve
As shadows fall
Those sometimes
When stars like hearts align
Let us summer one day more
Tangled wild roses
While butterflies flutter
I would drink the dew of your kisses
Days still sunny and warm
And time, it seems to crawl
As seasons drift to fall
Golden haze hangs over distant fields
Thoughts of you slipping through the veil
Of passing days and hours
While trees hold green a moment more
Mountain laurels dance
By warm breeze swayed
Beneath blue skies
Laced with clouds
And still beside the road
Courses of wild flowers grow
You're like them you know
Unlooked for, beautiful
Thoughts wherever I go
We're like them
We earthbound seekers of heaven
Sun and moon
Which mark the passing time
Dreams and day dreams
Save where sunlight merge with night
Ours the twilight
My light baths your softer glow
Til we dissolve
As shadows fall
Those sometimes
When stars like hearts align
Let us summer one day more
Tangled wild roses
While butterflies flutter
I would drink the dew of your kisses

Here summer lingers even on December mornings.
At times it gets really warm but the evening reminds you whose
season it really is. Temperature always drops.
Great write as to when nature tend to bump into each other.

Dear AJ,
To me, this poem envelopes the entire body while walking outside soaking up the beauty of some gorgeous national park. Where everything is in sync with the universe and there are no aches and pains mental or physical.
That said, you’ll probably tell me you wrote this at your work desk on your lunch hour. But I’ll still think you were outside creating this gem.
“We earthbound seekers of heaven” epic line. Lovely piece. H🌷

To tell the truth....
I had to write something to prove I still had a pulse, and nature was the only way I.could do it 🌼

the pain of slowly forgetting someone who brings you the warmth of summer and reminds you of the found beauties in life.
the recognition they are your equal in every way.
the yearning for one last chance.
