I Have Had Moments In Life

i have had moments in life where the vortex becomes silent those minutes spent in halcyon rapture away from the maelstrom of hours when the soul must be refreshed to pause in the wonder of it all listen to the soft murmuring sounds as doves nearby roost oh i could easily give wings return to the hurried world but these minutes as i listen i know well their place in the order of life's duties calls a respite to refresh the soul with a heaven-sent cooing and as Emily did note they asked nothing of me joyous in the nobody we are leaving me treasures in song minutes that make tolerable the hours more so the width of life, its song to breathe the breath given to us all the euphoria in a dove's murmurings OKC 6/22
