Notes About The Poem

                   

Moment Stolen In Time Beside Me Lay

As I stand by the kitchen window I must say
My chin against my chest spent from working all day
Warm wet soapsuds adhere to my hands as I pray
Washing the seasoned tableware, running away
Unfasten thoughts of daily drudgery workday

An incredible tranquil moment sets at bay
As I gaze out and see the caramel gateway
The sun’s glow starts to wane at a distance  array
Warm honey caramel  bathed yard melting a  way
Freezing  out my emotions from the day to day
Reality dream walking through a hue archway
A fond moment   stolen  in time  beside me lay

Such a lovely monorhyme, Eve. I love the 'warm honey caramel' atmosphere which you create. It would be a pity were moments such as this one to go to waste! Hugs // paul
