Beauty is a brief season



Beauty is a brief season


And the soul an eternity in time


If your love for me is truly ..true


Love me without the seasonal hues


The hair shall fall like Autumnal change


And spring bring forth wrinkles new-


The lines..a creak shall sound only louder


Where Green be mixed with Grey

    If people truly understand the truth behind beauty then they would stop seeking for it and find everything around them to be beautiful.

    I liked the way you have linked the beauty to the seasons. Really good!

    I am happy I added you to my network at IndiBlogger. I visited both of your blogs. I read more extensively from this one. I find you a very deeply thinking and articulate personality with creative writing. The articles have close touch with life and the poems make deep impact.

    This is an interesting piece about inner beauty; very likeable.

    Would be very pleased with some critique by you on my blog. Will connect on Facebook to read your updates there.

    I noticed from your bio that one of your interests is tree climbing! That's very enterprising.

    a week ago
    i was listening to dylan
    in my suv
    while i waited for my lady
    who'd run in
    to the grocery store
    to buy chile verde
    & corn tortillas
    i glanced over
    and in my mirror
    i see an old hand
    the sun's rays
    had lit it up
    & i saw wrinkles
    & flaws
    & i was shocked
    cos it was my hand
    but
    now
    i remember
    father & mother
    how their love grew stronger
    through the years
    &
    while their bodies
    grew old & fragile
    their soul & love
    shone like the morning sun

    ur poem has me remembering
    & it's a good thing

    good poem

    later my sister

    @ Este..at times life can be so jarringly true isn't it..as long as we remember these truths of life its easier to accept I guess..:) thanks for visiting
