Turn
by TheStormofWar
Age Group: Adult
Come and sit, take your rest with me.
Don’t worry, the hearth will keep you
warm, the chill north wind won’t find
you under that blanket. Nurse the cider
and bide your time with me, dear one.
The autumn is beautiful isn’t it? Trees
dressed in copper and maroon tones,
the storm clouds threaten no one, the
musical wind sings lullabies, tucking
the earth under delicate white sheets
The gentle time, the earth in slumber.
The long night’s silent whispers of
serenity, giving to the world dreams
of the old ways, now gone, and new
promises of virgin ways soon to come.
Can you hear the robins chirping there?
“Wake up, ” they sing, “Time to play!”
Greeting the dawn, Gaea moves gaily
in reds and yellows; strolling through
Eden’s flowers while the sun rises high.
The days grow long, but only if you
notice. The fields are calling us to run,
like we once did, in the fields of violets.
Dandelion wine with blueberry dreams
mark the time of new hopes, new love.
She is beautiful, isn’t she? Giving us
hints of things to come, noticeable in
the ivory gown. A sylvan-inspired face
smiles fondly beneath that mesh veil.
His spirit smiles at his future family.
Bonds of the heart are the strongest
type, as with these three. The little one
skips stones into the placid pond,
while mom and dad lament on their
memories, oblivious to the end of days.
Torchlights and dirges mark the passing
while the march moves on, beneath
the oak box, the eternal bed, holds only
love as she goes searching for her missing
comfort amongst the dusk-colored clouds.
I always did love the sunsets seen from
this window. It seems like a view only I
am privy to, though I have no qualms
sharing it with you, dear one. Will you
wait with me? The dawn comes soon.
Author's Notes: In honor of my wife who "owned" me on our anniversary with a scrapbook that made me blubber. It's a simply observation of the passing of the seasons and time. This is the only piece, to date anyway, that I've published in any sort of magazine.
