Moments When I Know

It may not yet be on command The feeling meaning I am one but then, I seem to capture thought of moments when I know The nod of a good morning walk The breeze that waves as I float by the neighbors smiles of innocence enlighten every day Power not of greed of fear circulates through every vein sensing calm to understand the moments when I know Holding fast serenity one day reaching total bliss shaking thoughts that break my stride I regain my force It may not yet be on command this feeling that I seek to keep but then, I just relax and find these moments when I know 12/2/22

A realization, a moment- The feeling meaning I am one--when reassured that a peaceful joy of being in all things makes it all worthwhile. I'm pleased to have taken this sweet journey with you, Mike.

Mike, wonderful images like "the breeze that waves" contribute so beautifully to unifying your theme of the moments when you just know - those moments of "a-ha" that suddenly appear like hidden blessings. I enjoyed sharing in your journey. Blessings.

Those good moments in our lives keep us afloat, it's the not so good moments that dampen our spirits, best avoided where possible. Enjoy your weekend Mike. Tom

These are the most precious moments, I think, Mike. Indeed, we need to shake those moments that "break our stride." I enjoyed your poem. Have a terrific weekend!
