Two poems by Jane Winter Leddy [signed Jane Winter]


Candle Flame

We have been led by candles through the quiet
              twilight hours
We have carried candles and searched the yellow
              crown of flame with wistful eyes
Seeking within it's core the mystery of our-
              selves,
Glimpsing instead the pattern of eternity.
           

Vagabond Memories

Navy blue thunderheads against a sunset sky,
 Lovliness enough for you and I;
Flash of scarlet along a woodland trail,
 Such memories will not grow pale;
Bid notes like polished silver
 Float to us across a quiet river.
We have gazed at dying embers lovingly;
 We have grown stronger silently.
