Yearning

restless, cold winter lurked in shadows love paled, leaf by leaf, to fall to dust blown apart in the wind, in meadows empty benches awaiting our trust. love paled, leaf by leaf, to fall to dust reminiscing spring of golden bloom empty benches awaiting our trust unaware of the long frigid gloom. reminiscing spring of golden bloom hoping soliticious spark in urn unaware of the long frigid gloom lighting an eternal flame, we yearn. hoping soliticious spark in urn blown apart in the wind, in meadows lighting an eternal flame, we yearn restless, cold winter lurked in shadows. 15.6.2020 Photo no.2
