Lovely Times

We live grandeur Such lovely times; Gratitude speaks ~~~~~~~~~ Joy greets splendour Smell of fresh grass; Sighs delight ~~~~~~~~~ Touch of magic In simple things; Fabulous sights ~~~~~~~~~ Sense a new feel Floating free; A voice calling ~~~~~~~~~ New year presides Time and tide align; Wonder delights ~~~~~~~~~ Time for change To craft new say; Humbling moments ~~~~~~~~~ Joy calls softly Laughter delights; Humour shows wit ~~~~~~~~~ Listen now Celebrate joy; Peace on earth ~~~~~~~~~ Green grass verge Dandelion swaying; Scented sensations ~~~~~~~~~ Tired old lady smiles Waiting in line; Cheer tickles face ~~~~~~~~~ Touch of stray breeze Ruffles her hair; Beauty strokes ~~~~~~~~~ New year greetings So much to say; Words do not come ~~~~~~~~~ Old man sits here Stares at passing world; Private thoughts loiter ~~~~~~~~~ Playful child runs Frolic greets glee; Wonder funds motive ~~~~~~~~~ School days Amazing trips; Happy adventures ~~~~~~~~~ Old friends cluster Meet to discuss; Old news, old times ~~~~~~~~~ Memory prevails Loiters in corners; Mood swings attend ~~~~~~~~~ Time loiters with dreams Broken not forgotten; New day preaches ~~~~~~~~~ Last I dreamt dreams Awakening I forget; Fall into a dream ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 01 January 2015 Singapore
