careless dusting

dusk arising

 

 

 

In that lazy evening of young winter
we dawdled along the city paving
hand in gloved hand's reassurance
gazing into shop window displays
imagining future's quiet adventures
willing the careless dusting of snowfall
to cast it's white christmas promise
and carpet our newfound wonderland

    • dusk arising

      Shop windows seemed so appealing back then.... did i just get old and lost interest? Thank you Fay, they were magic times.

      A great memory so well captured.

      • dusk arising

        A good few snippets of memories thrown into one to be honest, but hey, that's poetry (well my kind anyway). Thank you M.E.

        .. even as we approach our newest spring, not a single word here feels out of place ......................... Neville

          Bring on that spring please, gimmie some warmth. I'm trying to see how little heat I can survive on due to horrendous price hike. Managed to use less than half the gas than last February - sat in a scarf, woolly hat and overcoat LOL.

          Such a lovely memory. I enjoyed looking into shop windows with some wonderful displays.

              I am sorry to hear about your cancer. I would never make light about such a terr affliction. Cancer took my Mom at 59. Pray, write and laugh. By the way, your poem of window shopping was winsome and tender. Yours, Tj Struska

                No praying mate... just be positive minded, face the music and get on with it.

                Careless dusting by dusk arising,..it has a nice ring to it. It sounds like a nice introduction as you approach the stage for a poetry reading.๐ŸŒžโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š

                    Ahhโ€ฆmemoriesโ€ฆlovely memories.

                    โ€˜So it's the laughter
                    We will remember
                    Whenever we remember
                    The way we were
                    The way we wereโ€™

                    One of my favorite songs. It brings back a time of happiness thatโ€™s worth remembering, especially during these difficult times.

                    Thank you for sharing.
