Beautiful story which portrays the dynamic of many a relationship over time with the reassurance of healing over more time. A depth of meaning simply put, Fay, thanks.

You describe so beautifully the aftermath of love, and the healing that begins with rainbows in the mind. Just loved it!

The shadow pic is perfect, beautiful but fleeting as the day ages. The after effects linger, satisfied and yet still enticing. Wow Fay, what a write!

Your picture speaks volumes, as does your words. To love it while it lasts is a gift fleeting, but wonderful. Here in my part of the U.S. we have unseasonably warm weather, I\'ve seen a tree budding, where is my snow? Thank you for the joy in your poem, it makes me feel happy to know that you are enjoying it so.

Where? We say in our area! We had sharp frost which looks like snow, but not one flake of snow as yet - if I don\'t speak too soon!

Oh wow! We are dropping below zero in a few more days and still no sign of snow. It\'s rained icicles but still no snowflakes.... perhaps soon!

It is absolutely no good attempting to convince me that snow is wonderful - even though you do it so well Fay - full marks for effort there..🙂 It\'s ages since I\'ve experienced the stuff, but no length of time can assuage the memory of a struggle to fix chains on four car wheels with numb freezing hands...

Rocky Lagou said:
This oceanic metaphor for a relationship is so apt for what you\'re describing.
The way this bond is being described as \"tumultuous\" and \"clamorous\" gives so much weight to your poem.
I think this is something that many people can relate to, not just in romantic relations, but also platonic ones, too.
My stepmother tends to be this \"termagant\" that you\'ve pictured above.
This is divine.

The image of those honest, stoic countryfolk in their own environment well rendered here, Fay. The feeling that there might have been a better time and place to what we have now....

L. B. Mek said:
sorry for the long ramble, dear Fay
I do love it when you pen
one of your vivid odes, to those time\'s
when family life, was an asset
in our lives
(the saddest loss, in that erosion of theological
dictatorship
is that, so many cultural highlights
of family life, had to be abandoned
for long gone
are scenes on streets
of nuclear families, heading
to congregate
on Sunday mornings
neighbours, meeting after service
and catching-up
a unity of humane, oneness
decimated
because, we aligned faith
with all-things, integral
to societal, goodness
so now
it\'s sunday newspapers
and french toast with coffee
in bed, alone
sunday roast, portioned for one
click-timed
to arrive just after the shower...
sad
those older days your poetry depicts, dear Fay
came with warming smiles
soothing laughter\'s sounds
and ladies, as-ever
doing it all, alone
by choice
for the love
of a household, glued together
through life\'s stormy weather
by virtue of loyalty, to something
greater than isolated existences
yieldless, needs and wants)

L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
(of new beginnings
and footholds of hope
your words whisper to my poetic senses
funny, the power of Poesy
as now, the word \'today\'
seems to hold a more promising
premise
than \'the today\', I was preparing to endure
once again...)
what a wonderful gift
thank you! dear Fay
