Life's Sated Pleasures

A frolic in the park
A moonlit dinner after dark
A prediction on the mark
A quick trip on a lark

Spring, bird's new anthem bleating
Summer's eve sunset sparking
Autumn's metastasizing leaves glistening
Winter's first, new snowfall accumulating

Firstborn's, new cry beckoning
First day of school unfolding
First kiss my lips bathing
First wedding, bride beaming

Sports car with chrome sparkling
Job with tasks that are fulfilling
Holiday celebrations that are revitalizing
Gourmet meal taste buds titillating

You do take pleasure in life, Stephen, and it shows in your writing! Enjoyed reading this delightful perspective on "sated pleasures." Love, Carolyn
