In Tandem
A friendship blossoms.
walk with her
in the sun's gold mist
grab her hand,
run far from this
*
up a hill
like Jack and Jill
ride the peak,
stop, look and feel
*
turn the page,
what do you see,
a girl a boy
wish upon a hope tree
*
a pure look of awe
has come over them
a rad, new feel
like a cute, warm hymn
*
eyes mix with
a true, soft haze
not one word can pen
this vast, deep gaze
*
The path they see,
and the rare snow dove
are both a good sign
that this must be love
*
*
Thank you for stopping by. Written for the Short but Sweet Challenge.

The Silence That Follows
“Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything . . . It is the presence of time, undisturbed. It can be felt within the chest. Silence nurtures our nature, our human nature, and lets us know who we are. Left with a more receptive mind and a more attuned ear, we become better listeners not only to nature but to each other. Silence can be carried like embers from a fire. Silence can be found, and silence can find you. Silence can be lost and also recovered. But silence cannot be imagined, although most people think so. To experience the soul-swelling wonder of silence, you must hear it.”― Gordon Hempton

This was so effortless to read I didn’t even register the word limitations. Wholesome and beautiful, I really liked this poem
Nice Lamar. I'm happy to see a positive and uplifting poem for the challenge without the parmesan cheese all over it.
The last stanza is brilliant and heartwarming. So romantic, Lamar! My heart melted.
Awww, this was so magical and wonderful! Loved your sweet poem!
This is beautiful Lamar, perfectly encapsulates what the bloom of a new relationship can be like. Starting as friends and then onto more. Well done, sir!
The signs we see when all we see is our beloved--especially when it's new.
Fantastic!!! Loved it!!!
This is enchanting. Great entry!
This is so sweet. Falling in love, and realizing it, is just like feeling those warm, gold rays of sunshine. Too bad it’s all downhill from there… (kidding). A strong entry for the challenge. ✨
Nice work! Great writing loved it!
Nice one, Lamar! I enjoyed your approach to this challenge 💙Anneliese

Wow this was just Good Lamar. Very well done Sir
Lovely verse, Lamar, and touching story of young love.
I love this *chef’s kiss*
Niiiiice, Lamar! Very smooth.
A very nice one, Lamar!
Sweet poem. And great use of the four letter limit. 😎
Well this was sweet. Reminiscent of the days when love was coupled with naive notions of over confidence and zeal, and maybe a bit of lust.
😌 Lamar, "In Tandem" brought back sweet memories for me... my first Kinder stories of Dick & Jane and my first kiss in daylight & sunshine. "In Tandem" is lovely! 💜👏💜
This tells a whole story!! I love it!
This was absolutely so short and sweet! Well done, Lamar!!
