Poems...come share your work.
I wanted a place to put my poems, but did not want to dedicate a thread solely for my work. So I hope I can induce you all to come here and post your musings. I will start with one I wrote a few years back, and is one of my favorites. Feedback and impressions are welcome.
The Lost Summer
God's good earth is calling,
It beckons I return
To greener days,
And childhood plays,
And lost days that I yearn.
Each field and glen remembers
When a barefoot boy did roam
Its hills and dales, its wooded trails,
And now wants him back home.
I sit beneath the shady elm
That once served as my store
For secrets and for treasures dear,
To keep forevermore.
A robin's egg, a spiders web,
Wax and a ball of string,
A kite to fly on windy days
A bluejay's faded wing.
But now I'm tired and weary,
And too old to run and play,
Yet in those dreams of long ago
I search for yesterday.
To find the glory in the flower,
The splendor in the grass,
Forgotten through life's hardships
Come to claim my soul at last.
