I ran across this poem and it reminded me of the woman that Fitzgerald portrays in his work, “Winter Dreams”. When I read it, it made me visualize Judy and her encounters with Dexter. How she mesmerizes him and holds him captive. I thought I would share it. I think it is beautiful!

She is forever standing at our secret pond beneath our loving tree. Welcome late-spring breeze lifting summer dress and hat ever so slightly. She is dropping a rose frozen forever in time it cascades from her hand. Around her, the pond, the cat-tails, the bird song, all captured deliciously. She is smiling playfully as rose follows petals to rest amidst lily-pads. A buzz of bumblebee, breeze dancing leaves above, mid-morning sun seems to kiss her. She laughs hearing her name turns with anticipation burned forever is the sight. Even as life continues - for that split second her beauty is immortalized. |
