Life's Priceless Moments

Time well spent 
With near and dear ones.
Time for oneself 
Blissfully lost in reverie; 
Oblivious to chaos 
Reigning in surroundings.
Fond recollections of the past.
Listening to laughter
Of children at play. 
Waking to yet 
Another rising sun 
Savoring the fragrance of 
A bloomed rose in the garden.
In sweet surrender,
Transported 
To a mental wonderland.
Peacefully lying supine 
Watching birds 
Command the vast sky.
Out in nature,
Running fingers through 
Tall blades of grass.
Expelling a drawn-out sigh 
At the tail-end 
Of a long hectic day.

Hello Edward, this poem made me feel like I was there at the moment. I can just listen to the birds singing. I can vision myself smelling flowers. God Bless. /Darlene\
