5 January

behind the trees

the first winter sun caressed the sky 

with scarlet



the pair of them sat watching for a bit

it struck her then

that one might not expect these times to be as plentiful 

as the spare change he saved in the jar on his bureau

so she leaned against him

in the growing light

  7. Sounds a lot like my poem. Interesting that our minds took the same path. It was a story in the air for creative minds to latch onto. Well at least your pair didn't part. Well wordled.

  18. How True. Often we look back on treasured times and they are not necessarily gala times of great pomp but of precious moments where love and affection come freely unannounced.
