Rocking Chair

The rush of life does disappear
in the steady cadence of a rocking chair 
when out the window I do stare
at life unjaded, quiet and spare. 

As I rock I see lovely lines
flowers uplifted, tendrils on vines
birds a flutter sing songs from on high
time is captured in my mind's eye.

Your poem sure made me smile ... I've always wanted a porch and rocking chair - reminds me of watching little house on the prairie and the waltons when I was a young girl:-) hugs Jan xx

Nature has a way of doing that Laura. I find my cadence on a porch swing. I enjoyed the poem!
