Reminisce
reminisce
lost in my thoughts
soft sound of your voice
and I remember your eyes
a painting come to life
of untrammeled beauty
in efflorescent dreams
waiting to blossom…
put your heart in my hand
and I’ll give you mine
peel away the layers
in my forgotten valley
where butterflies still dance
bring back the fervor
of yesterdays ether
no figment from the past
the journey of our souls
where I linger
breathing
and keeping faith alive

This is beautiful to read and fathom, my friend. Blessings to you, Amanda. I miss your presence, but I surely understand. The times of our lives are like seasons. Seasons change, and often revolve. May we see you again refreshed and renewed when the time is right.

Jingle speaks true. That is indeed beautiful. And so many words there that I’ve not seen or heard used in sooo-ooo long. ‘Untrammeled’. ‘Efflorescent’. Thank you for keeping these wonderful words alive, Amanda! 😀
