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 the most lovely lines flowers uplifted, tendrils on vines birds a flutter sing songs from on high time is captured in my mind's eye. Written in August, 2009

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!
