It’s your attitude that I am drawn to – you wear your beauty lightly, a mantle to keep off a draft, nothing more. No mirrors grace your walls; instead, you look up, out; contentment hangs like a visceral Presence as you breathe the air of Joy. This attitude of Gratitude for sun, breeze, rain, pleasures…
It’s your attitude that I am drawn to –
you wear your beauty lightly,
a mantle to keep off a draft, nothing more.
No mirrors grace your walls;
instead, you look up,
out;
contentment hangs like a visceral Presence
as you breathe the air of Joy.
This attitude of Gratitude
for sun, breeze, rain,
pleasures to behold and be held,
holds me captive in the Now
and I feel a tiny block of
bitter ice
melting in your gaze…

Thank you, Wendy – I’m so honored that you feel that way!
Thank you for your kind words, Glenda! I’m always glad to see that you have stopped by! 🙂
Oh WOW and Wow, Melody–those last 3 lines are especially magnificent!!
Mmmmm – I eat your words up like candy – not afraid to admit to my ‘sweet tooth’! 🙂
“contentment hangs like a visceral Presence
as you breathe the air of Joy.” …
I like this poem… I’ve been breathing in its words for a good five minutes or more, filling my cells with the joy of contentment I should embrace 🙂
Wow – you can’t get more ‘in the moment’ than that – and that is what this piece is all about. Perhaps one of the highest compliments you could bestow! 🙂
Meanwhile, Melody Muses...
