Cozy Contemplations - 33. Chapter 33 Piano Bar
*****
Piano Bar
Miniature yellow roses
Perfect in their purity
Bloom in abundance
In an old tin pail
On my veranda
They are a reminder of
When love bloomed,
In the depths of winter
We didn’t expect it,
You, nor I
The instant warmth
That became heat
And quickly love,
With an earnest
Commitment to try
We did try
And we rejoiced
In the gift bestowed
Upon us
For the years we had
I will always have roses
Like the ones you brought
To a man under the weather
The day after meeting
For the first time
Your arrival at my door
With sweet nervousness
And genuine concern
Touched me deeply
And still does to this very day
Alas, despite careful tending
Roses, and love,
Don’t always survive
The elements
That batter away at them
These blooms will fade
And the petals will drop
As fall turns into
The season it all began,
One night in a piano bar
That doesn’t mean
I can’t relive such beauty
Each and every year
Their time may have passed
But spring will come again
And I will remember the music….
