Lingering

~ Golden soft, rays a’ fleeting filter, pristine light through branches does sift along a peach grove corridor and dirt road dreams of scattered dust I sit and watch the day unfolding, hot, the cup my hand now holds Tiny sips of morning flavors sing as I long for the miles to disappear Beyond blue skies calling out to me from northern horizons with voices melodic Bringing the music of your heart on breezes … sugar sweet and pure As I taste your smile of sunrise beauty, feel your touch of dawning desire and stare off quietly to where I’d rather be… I sip my cup again, lingering in all that is you ~

So many have daily inspirational books or words they read that help them to keep a positive focus throughout their day and life, in general. Your morning greetings (poems) accomplish this for me. Sorry I couldn't be here earlier today.

The words have drawn me very close to something that was loitering in the outskirts of my brain. I'm into thoughts now!! This is so deep.
