time stands still

hello everyone
I will respond to all soon
thank you
peace and blessings

"time stands still"

watching the warm fire
mesmerized by illumination
flames of reds yellows whites
within this picturesqueness
time stands still

not wanting to leave
dancing embers captivate
snuggled with love
and romanticisms
a hallmark stage breathes

quiet thoughts are clear
embracing such ornaments
that touch eyes and souls
harbored forevermore
still time stands still

In the quiet moments while time stands still, the timelessness is filled with the Love of God. Embrace them and acknowledge Him, for He loves you. A lonely poem, Lisa. Thanks for the peace it brings to us the readers. Have a blessed Christmas season, Hugs, Bill

I love the way you describe things and make your poems flow in such a creative manner, I especially love the lines “ mesmerized by illumination flames of reds yellows whites within this picturesqueness“ i can see through your words and feel the heat as i read! How clever and beautiful it is. And i love how you’ve described time too: a poem on time never is bad but this dear lisa is so evocatively impeccable. I felt so much reading your word weaving. What touches our heart,soul forever inscribed

My wife loves a warm fireplace, quite romantic as you nicely describe. I guess we all do. Ditto a nice campfire

Hello Tom. Good Morning. Thank you very much. Yes, a fireplace is something... I just came from your "Mary Rogers" entry which is extraordinary. Be very proud of your work. I'm certain Poe would be... Have a wonderful morning and day. Blessings and Peace (smile)

Before I got married I'd sit reading by the open coal fire and often I'd stop reading to just stare into the flames, so relaxing. Tom
