    Highlights

    I think of you more when you are gone
    the Tennessee breeze caressing your shoulders
    playfully tossing the highlight in your hair
    strawberry and blond
    now and then the glint of silvery grey
    just to say I know
    You know that youth is fleeting
    that seasons pass
    that wisdom's value is transcendent
    without it love and trust
    are only desire and tolerance
    a fragile bond indeed
    as delicate as the highlights
    in this august sun

    Such a lovely poem. It's so true that without wisdom, love and trust aren't much. Have a good weekend.

    A real summer poem. There is a change in the air I think everyone is feeling it. Everything will be golden soon and we will wonder what happened to summer.. Hope you enjoyed yours.. Hugs Carrie

    I like the change of air, just how I like the change of seasons and how life and people change to adapt for it. The snow, the coats, the boots, shorter days and longer nights, then the blossom, followed by the sun- flip-flops, beaches and dining alfresco style. A change seen nearly in all aspects of life... I love it.
