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
Many thank yous sorenbarrett. It amazes me the metaphors readers can find in my poetry. I am ever thankful for the lovely responses received. Have a lovely day.
