Ann Peck Poet Blank verse

I Still Believe

I still believe in the deepest blue sky
          a summer's day full of blossoms in blooms
I still believe in a mockingbird's trills.
          lovely sunsets~beauty that takes my breath.
Whispering wind, stars shining bright; mountains, 
          purple~their peaks crested with lavender          
Oceans, beaches, sunshine, seashells, mermaids...
          Fields of grass turned lovely citron and sage
Lifetime, caring friends, grown children to love;
          A newborn's face seeing his mom at last.
A beautiful poem to keep and read again
          a book so interesting I can't put down;
Music that soothes a weary heart and soul
          wonders of life that make me laugh and cry
And grace in all wonders that make life good
          give hope for all the days in tomorrows
I still believe we know how to love all
          I hope, one day, we will decide to try.

Rico Leffanta December 26, 2021 at 11:06 AM Enjoyed, but I do believe people will need to put down their cellphone first . . . . .Aloha! Ann Peck December 26, 2021 at 3:49 PM HAHA! You are so right! Some months ago, I watched four young women come into a restaurant, sit down and pull out their phones~no conversation at all. We're on a path to forget how to talk. Aloha!
