Bittersweet

It’s that bittersweet time of year

summer on the run & winter storms

gathering force.

One wish that you were here

tall girl a swirl in your step

the smile that radiates with light,

this life has been a hectic ride

from Hollywood to 3rd world bar

& back via several stars

I’m hoping for a resurrection

before the death, maybe a softer trend

a moment’s breath that’s out of time,

a moment that is yours & mine.
