Summer singing
Its lovely goodbye
still you say
don’t leave me sunshine.
Leaves are falling
turning golden,
still you think
you are beholden
To memories
of summertime
like chasing
elusive butterflies
but when winter
showcase its
magical
snowflakes
you dream
of bonfire
scented
autumn
for you
rather kiss
the breeze
of yesterday
than embrace
the beauty
of tomorrow’s
blossoms.

Wonderful. I guess it is human nature to always want what we don’t have.

Love this poem, Joel. Isn’t that too true of so many of us…living in the past, not accepting the present! Great title!

Yes Annika, it’s so true.. There are people who are trapped in the past and can’t move on and look forward to the beauty of tomorrow. But then everybody has their own journey. Different folks, different strokes. 🙂
Thank you Annika for appreciating it. I’m glad you like the title.

Thanks Trixi for sharing your beautiful perspective. Yes, we’re just human to be anxious of the future and take the precious present for granted, how we sometimes don’t recognize the beauty of snowflakes crystals because what we feel is the coldness of winter in our life. Thanks you for that beautiful thought. Thanks too for stopping by. Enjoy the weekend.

Thanks Peabea for sharing your thoughts. Nope, i never tried entering any poetry contest. Never submitted any poem to any publication.
Well, the last time i submitted a poem was in grade school, it’s not actually a contest, it’s like a homework thing but my teacher turned it into a contest. lol.
Thanks too for visiting. Enjoy the weekend.
