Treasured.

 

I remember that day,

a grainy twilight draining sky's colour,
strange iridescent skin
on the water and wind lifting my hair.


I remember the birds

bursting to flight from silhouette trees,
granite luminescence
on rocks and damp cooling my tension.          


I remember the peace

as I waited for you at our rendezvous,
determined that love leave
memories never so treasured as then.

    Even more treasured now i could easily believe.
    I must say your words took me back to sometime, someplace, someone.... a similar scene in my memory which i have to admit i found quite moving.
    Words, from the hand of one who's life flows through them, can bring so much unexpected joy to savour.

    Ah memories - super write Fay.

    I know it is just "me,' but your phrasing of the first two stanzas had me thinking of "The Birds" - the short story and later the movie.
    But then you smacked me straight with the final stanza and those "memories never so treasured

    ANGELA HERE - Good Evening Fay - MEMORIES ! As we get older - memories accumulate - some are more poignant & memorable than others ! Brian & I have Walls & Display Cabinets in our new Home and already they are filling up with memories ! Photos - pebbles (with dates & place on) - artifacts etc to remind us of People & High Days & Holidays.
    BUT your moving Poem focuses on a Single Day - out of thousands. It is eternally etched in your memory. The sky & sea - The birds & rocks and the PEACE ! Eventually culminating in the UNFORGETABLE TRYST - AMEN. Brian & I have had such moments and trust we will have many more ~ AMEN !

    Blessings - Peace & Joy
    Love - Angela & Brian 💛💛💛
