Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

I asked for this day
Kneeling in prayer last evening
I am adrift free
...

Oh sweet winter night
You brought back laughter forgot
We made snow angels
...

Clouds of wintry sky
Fill my heart with joyous song
We endured the storm
...

We kissed in shadows
Of a winter night's clear sky
Youth returned to us
...

Beautiful winter sky
Casting shadows far and near
Angels throw kisses
...

My heart was heavy
Then I chanced upon the waltz
Of lotus blossoms
...

I am dressed in pink
In the middle of the pond
The one with the smile
...

Thank you for this space
To float and dream on water wings
In the sea of life
...

Memories live yet
We gazed at the winter sky
Strolling hand in hand
...

Don't wait for yesterday's laughter
To return,
Or yesterday's smile to grace your lips...
As yesterday is just that,
...
