FOR PATIENCE (Feb 20-24)

You walked in the light, on  days when soft grasses rustled with   buttercups and butterflies. More like a lion than a lamb.

You came to the fence, when breezes blew leaves from the trees. We greeted each other as old friends are want to do.

She was your world. Cordelia of the  winter snow. You of the summer sun. How you loved each other.

The fence was your pirate ship. How you loved to reach for the stars.

Content with each other.

The world of the fence was enough. Peace in its corner.

Her balcony. Your muse. 

You let me in.......

Together at the fence. Where we met  when  crickets sang  their nightly songs.

To greet  your companion of snow, from all through those years. Those many years.

And there was a hush. From that moment on. 

 Those times of quiet contemplation.

And she.  She will miss you. As I will....

And when  grasses blow softly and  butterflies and  crickets sing, I will see you there. I will remember you........
