Beach Walk February 2012

...there was a moment, a split second tangible textured moment when the wind shifted taking me by surprise - you looked at me, head tilted, hand falling gently to your side - in that moment, slow motion moment the fire disappeared from your eyes - hands on the clock stopped moving as if frozen in time - I'm still not ready to say goodbye...

Four years and counting...turning point. February 19, 2012 Fairfield Beach

Post Valentines Day ~ 2.15.12

Sweet Sentimental Valentine

Mild winter lack of snow,
white luster dulls the senses
a chill in the air cuts to the bone
leaves of a season past linger gingerly
with no place in particular to go
a blessing shared on widow's walk
fare winds and following seas
with all the anticipation of an early spring
a sailors dream comes true,
mourning doves sorrowful coo
touches the heart gently
and the nightingale's wale
carries the weight of a new day a dawning
memories are tear drops of time
fluid thoughts of years past
and the Heavens open arms wide 
to my sweet and sentimental Valentine...

To JY, Love always and forever, TY
