Palliative

My first new poem presented on my return, composed 3 am , this morning. PALLIATIVE Gasping beauty of Life, Love and Nature's treasures Dawn and its promise, given in fullest measures An ancient oak spreading out wide to give cool shade Wonderment, diversity of the Everglades. Glory of a red sunset and a cool Spring night, A gift of newborn kittens in morn's first light. Hope, sweet summer days -life and so very much more Those answered prayers that the faithful implore Watching radiant moon sing on a summer rest Romance and heart joining passing every test. Glory of a time when hard day's work is well done. Watching beloved children having such great fun. Vacation, old ranch- together those horseback rides Midnight pier, rolling waves of the Pacific tides Watching old, yellow orb sink in the great beyond Gifting morn's first kiss as ones' beloved responds. Glory of holding so tight in that sweet embrace. Jewel each new day seeing her sweet smiling face. Robert J. Lindley, 11-07-2021 Romanticism (1.)
