Noticing

In wonderment I walk with the day billows blowing noticing not, a beginning nor an end lost in the mist of the rain I pause at the crosswalks filled with children on their way not knowing life from a game smiles yield, flowery umbrellas holding the rain and a world at bay glistened eyes overcome and I see their mothers dreams, heartfelt nights tireless songs of glee intrepidity the will amid the worry cars turning left moving right no wrong in sight the beginning to an end they're at their end I see youth in their eyes glazing over moments years/tears it's not the end I greet them noticing all that beauty bellowing silently from within

Only sensitive souls will notice youth in the eyes across years of tears..If only in life we could be like those children keeping the rain at bay..Not the fresh rain but the dirty rain..If only..maybe then..none will be lost. Love this poem T.S .Glad I got to read it.

I could almost cry for what seems a true understanding on your part of all that is painted on a mother's face and contained within her eyes... beautifully penned, TS Poetry.

Sad the ways of mortal man. Soft blinded by papers green. His time but a brief span. Great beauty too oft unseen. Yet life offers its gifts. The Joy's of sweet love. Light and hope that uplifts. Treasure cast from above. Superb first poem you have e given us. A fav, a great POTD.
