A Moment In Time

By Fatima Abdul Aleem The blossoming buds fill my eyes with delight, As the aroma seeps through the air, Showcasing a picturesque scene depleted of fright, A life of beauty and a day so rare, A gentle breeze runs across my back, As touches of sunlight caress my hair, I stood still to inhale these moments I lack, My mind rejoices then my heart tears, Releasing its pains while downplaying the sorrow, As I lean against this greenery out doors, Embracing every yesterday and every tomorrow, I dance to the singing birds going about their chores, Their nest building and egg laying captures me, As I twirl around and bump into an awakening bee. 3/12/21 Breath of Spring Poetry Contest Sponsored By Regina McIntosh
