Fatima Abdul-Aleem Poet Sonnet

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.
