To a summer sun rising into the dawn
To warm my soul with its fiery blaze
To an autumn wind plucking jewel colored leaves
And floating them through the morning haze
To a winter’s chill that pushes you close
My arm falls across your lilting breast
To spring’s flowery scent that lifts my heart
To remind me how my life is blessed

Rediscovery through poetry
of a son
See the world through my eyes
poetry, shorts, and other stuff
the world turns on a word
poetry and fiction on all wrecked feelings of the world.

I like this poem very much indeed, Jerry, especially the phrase ‘lilting breast’. That is a perfect evocation of the gentle breathing you experience when you’re completely relaxed with each other, and it has delightful overtones of music.
Do you mind if I reblog this poem, please?

Reblogged this on Autumn Leaves and commented:
Jerry, The Backyard Poet, writes about daily life. He writes about laughter, tears, falling leaves, and above all the wonderful mystery of enduring human love. He writes about those everyday matters that we can so easily undervalue; those everyday matters that are, ultimately, the most important things in the world. “I awaken” is a short, lyrical poem that shows his work at its simplest and loveliest.
