Reminiscing

This one kind of came out like a country song...or at least that's what it sounds like in my head. :-)

Not all days and nights are right for reminiscing

But sometimes the sunset seems to know

When I miss all the ways you touched me

With just the right amount of soft and slow

and with a violent passion

you beat right into my quiescent heart

and it’s there, where you still manage to flow

Not all clouds are shaped like yesterdays

But sometimes I feel like the sky is teasing me

It’s not the blue that reminds me of you

It’s the warmth of the sun, just before it leaves me

Then I wander back into that moment

When I first met your smile

Before that, I didn’t know all that much about happy

Knowing days like that can still live

Gives me hope that I’ll see love again soon

And not just between

the setting sun and the rising moon

but  in all of the places willows won’t cry

and for far longer 

than the sun lights up the hours of June
