~In This Moment...

Inspired by another lovely piece of *Star's artwork.

I breathe, my world expands in this moment

     most days I find myself in utter puzzlement

of broken pieces that hardly fit the scene 

    the beauty that surrounds me is vastly

                   different from my view,

    poppies can twist to opium seeds in turn

A sheer moment in time I realize there's beauty,

         that is every single thing we do and see

I hear the dance in so many different styles

    even pain is a study in it's own mysterious way

I breathe in this precious moment of clarity, 

          hopeful to revisit it some dark & dismal day

[Frieda P]

Ha, that made me smile Onku, I notice, it doesn't' always stick! ;-) Thanks so much my friend.

I have moments like this when I'm listening to music and realize that the song playing at that particular moment is a perfect match to what is happening around me and what I'm feeling. Sort of a soundtrack to my life

[Frieda P]

Music can certainly bring about moments of clarity, thanks Annabelle.

I breathe in this precious moment of clarity...I've been searching for one of these as of late and you seem to have captured it perfectly. This piece is beautiful in its vision and illustration of peace.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Kristin, I wish I could bottle the stuff so it'd last longer.

An interesting write as always my Lady. It seems to be uplifting and your touchstone in times of need. As always words of silky essence.

[Frieda P]

Ah, what a lovely review my Lord, thanks so much.

[Ravyne Hawke]

Living in this moment, breathing.. very Zen, Frieda. Not taking life for granted, but stopping to pay attention to the smallest details.. everything is fleeting.. the good, the bad. A moment of stillness helps us to realize just how fleeting we are.

[Frieda P]

Now, if it could only last, thanks Lori....

[Dana Alsamsam]

this is a lovely write about not taking everything for granted. there is good and evil enraptured in every little piece of our lives. i particularly loved the line "poppies can twist to opium seeds in turn" because it was a very unique metaphor that painted a great image!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Dana, that was my favorite line too.

[Androglossia]

Your poem spoke of extraordinary beauty out of the ordinary things we see everyday. Which beauty could not be seen by the naked eye. I loved this work of yours.

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Maryanne, jazzed you liked my musings here. :-)

[Androglossia]

You're very welcome:) BTW, this was added to my faves.

[Frieda P]

Thanks again :-)

[Shane Winchester]

Finding the beauty in everything is not a state of mind easy to access all the time. Your words here however, are - their beauty is abundant.

[Frieda P]

Hardly, moments are the best we can hope for some days, thanks for your lovely review Shane.

First off, Star is amazing!

Secondly, your song reminded me of 'From This Moment' Shania Twain.
"From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on"

Hehe, this is amazing. I would say don't take what you have for granted because one day you won't have it.

So much appreciation for life and its moments whether light or dark ones with emphasis on not taking even the little things for gratitude ...Another lovely write of you...:)

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Sami, glad you enjoyed my little insight here :-)

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...Gracie Mille...:)

A lovely one Frieda... and today I am a prisoner of the rain... Letting the thoughts that emerge in these moments seep through me... Seeking peace and stillness where other moments would see chaos...

[Frieda P]

Rain here too, seems everyone is rained out on this dreary Monday Horizon, thanks....
