Always Aware

Note the golden morning sun, red and orange, blue aeonian sky
Silver reflections of moonlight cast on dead of night still waters
Window light that shines so bright welcoming you at night
The way your smile reaches all the way up into your eyes

Smell the boulevards rain-washed and bitter-sweet, hot coffee
Spicy, earth-rich pipe smoke and baking chocolate chip cookies
Lovers embrace with musky skin, a dozen roses perfume is heady
That unique scent the very first time inside your brand new Chevy

The good sheets - 600 count - fresh from a hot dryer
Sitting in the window seat basking in the sunlight's heat
Long or short, with every stroke, snuggle-soft is kitten's fur
Favorite faded holey jeans, shoes no one else would wear

Good morning songs from birds nearby, kitten's rumble purr
Soothing rain patters on the roof then booming rolls of thunder
Chirping frogs and bugs in grasses, the chattering leaves in trees
Waves that lap upon the sand, a sexy spoken please

This group of friends who share
with open minds that care
Patiently listening
Always there

may I always be aware.

Good Morning Sara. It was wonderful to see a post by you. Allow me to say if you can express words such as this you are aware and are blessed. You have wonderful and marvelous poetic expressions. I loved the incorporation of the 600 count sheets. That was clever. And yes PoetrySoup members are always there. Have a wonderful morning Sara. Well done
