A Remembered Past

26 Replies

A Pinecone and a Leaf,

Lay next to each other.

Knowing full well,

There would not be another.

 

With a chill in the air,

They remembered their past.

The warm summer breezes,

And evenings that last.

 

They danced on the wind,

And played in the rain.

They did it at first,

And then did it again.

 

Life is for living,

So, that’s just what they did.

From dusk and through dawn,

They played like a kid.

 

But time has its limits,

We know this is true.

They living will die,

To make room for the new.

 

A Pinecone and a Leaf,

Were unlikely friends.

May they be remembered,

For starting new trends.

    I love this Pam. I think we’re going to read more about The Pinecone and the Leaf in the future, and that suits me just fine. I swear, you could take any object, and create a beautiful, moving poem or story about it. How wonderful for us!

    Think positive. Test negative.
