"Like the ancient breath of angels"


Poem Artwork

Souvenirs in Winter

for my son Stevie

My son brought me a bag of rosebuds of which to make tea
And when the water meets them then they bloom
A Valentine's present profoundly inspiring to me
When they spread rosebud-fragrance through the room

Like the ancient breath of angels preserved
As treasure reverentially reserved
For only the highest and holiest days
I will not make tea of them after all

Instead I will cherish them sacred always
My souvenirs in winter of the fall

+Steven Curtis Lance

you truly bring the distinctive `ancient` aroma to us, the mellow mood underlines the setting smoothly
all senses are stimulated

Absolutely beautiful, Steven. It always amazes me how poets and writers *see* such difference in common and not-so-common things. Bravo. Peace.

Little River by Dadfire

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
