One Last Kiss

art ~ Elzbieta Mozyro

 

 

Who woke me from this summer dream

wrapped in cloudless skies

and cooled the kiss of warm sunbeams

                     and took the butterflies

That swept the scent of wildflowers

on wings of tender lace

and

       fluttered

                    through

                                this

                                      fantasy

        the chill of this embrace

fades the songbirds sweet melodies

as heartbreak fills a sky

now breathing cool as Autumn falls

 

          I’ll whisper my goodbye….

 

to scattered leaves that fly too soon

        upon this icy breeze

                 to butterflies and wildflowers

                             and birds high in the trees

      and blow just one last lovely kiss

to those warm sunbeams

that wrapped me once in cloudless skies…

            goodbye summer dreams

Tender piece... I think that you are most gifted at writing the ethereal and sensually emotional. There is an effectiveness to your words and the textures of your pieces that truly touch the deepest parts of me; levels that are often left untouched by daily life. I'm always transported by your work, to places that are passionate and "possible". Well done.

This was splendid read. A elegant send-off to summer. I afraid here, in Vancouver, summer is long gone.

Thank you Pryde :) Julie
