spring water

Time passes
a barnacle
in the mind

a heart
without eyes
has no sense
of time

The wind
the rain
a mirror’s reflection
on a face

years of playing
in summer winds
and winter storms

a heart still sings
youth filled
tunes
the legs
the feet
no longer
move in tempo

reminiscing upon
memories
that fill the glass
with spring water
of youth

  1. This poem flows so lyrically, like a song. I love the second stanza!

  4. Well is a relative term. I'm content until I recently read a few of your pieces and then I became envious. Envious of your talent. But thanks for making contact.
