Poignant Gaze

Dewy grass bed
Wait for sunrise;
Kissing goodbye


Sparrow choir
Sings chirpy psalm;
Unrehearsed splendour


Joy of morning
Aura of magic;
Blessing the earth


By winding footpaths
Butterflies flutter;
Flower promenade


July wears colours
Sparkling and grand;
Hot sun teasing


My window view 
Tells a fragrant tale;
Eyes soak the sights


Joy wears a gaze
Radiant with zest;
Smiles sparkle


Take a quick stroll
Greet sleepy neighbour;
Breakfast takeaway pack


Time looms large
With calm retirement;
So much undone


Day time dreaming
Impose new feelings;
Doing nothing


Excursion to nowhere
Time is no luxury;
We got a lot


My darling and I
In poignant gaze;
Years now a maze!


Self-talk heals
All sorts of unease;
Keep focus positive


Old age intrudes 
Upon the present;
Punctures young moods


Pursuit of happy
In insane world;
So much suffering


I remind me:
Live just one day;
One day at a time
