The Rare Moment

The Rare Moment Sitting here enjoying the hard cascading rain streams pouring down the very clear window pane Thoughts streaming around the light in my head still groggy a bit from a late rise from my bed Awaiting the hot coffee that will singe my brain like that sweet victory over hurt, a precious pain Sitting here enjoying this most precious morn so very happily pleased my wonderful son was born!

When that happens so often we just soak in the moment but this time I interrupted mine to offer a short write....

Robert Sounds like a day full of joy and happiness with no worries at all. Soak it all up and never let it go. Thank you for the nice comment on my Friends Don't Give Up poem.

UR welcome!!! A moment locked into the treasure vault in my mind! I had to let go of the vanishing reality of the moment but never of the memory it etched so deeply into my brain!

wow, this is a beautiful little gem. To soak in the moment. THAT is what it is all about. I wrote a poem on that same theme, but I can't post it yet. later I will. It is the one for Goethe's Path!! was this one written for any challenge? I bet it just came to you from your own soul's appreciation for the day.
