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.

I don't think you could have said a nicer thing to me, thank you so much. Early or late, I always look forward to your encouraging and smile producing comments.

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.
