Too Soon

Cassie58

 

her optimistic footsteps 

went searching 

walking on winding pathways 

through to green grassy slopes 

dusted with winter icing 

 

into the darker woodland 

for a first glimpse of spring 

in clumps of delicate beauty 

in sight of waters of the fast flowing 

Thames 

 

but they were still sleeping 

not ready to waken and show 

their pretty bell shaped flowers 

signaling new beginnings 

 

so she gifted me a necklace 

with three tiny snowdrops 

suspended from a silver chain 

with a kiss and a promise 

that photographs would follow 

another day

    A most lovely poem with many metaphors that sent shivers. Following each to their end these metaphors paint a picture of longing that does not last forever good or bad. Like the ice they too will melt in the pictures in the mind. Most beautiful with a touch of resting peace
