"Catching A Breath..."

I visited Ana B. 's page and read a few... well worth your time.

I visited Ana B. 's page and found the inspiration for writing this after reading a few of her poems.  It really IS worth your time to visit her page and hear her thoughts.

I came to see another day -

There is a time I like to pause and just sit and BE... stare out into the world. Taste life as it comes.
Sigh... you've kept me here ...thinking and feeling. 

"Catching A Breath..."

Coffee

sunrise ...little bits of

thyme and rosemary scents

accents whispering across the breeze

teasing smiles from dancing eyes

counting fingertips as they scrawl

the moment paused...

til the chuckle escapes and

the smile echoes through - another's eve.

Tis Autumn’s touch

Chill and deep

With silences held close

As footsteps pass.

…The coffee’d mist

Floats and expands as colors swirl

Within memories raised

And dreams so curled

Tight within every breath’s begin.

Is a sun day - silly clouds

Spreading thin

Drawing me back, and further

Again…

I almost …almost wish.

Almost wish what, that it was the other time and other place that you were comparing this day to? Kathie

but THAT would be TELLING - though perhaps that was already a given...

I expect many of us wish there were parts of our life we could live over. Many just feel old and wish their minds and body were younger. Kathie

This is filled with wonderful images and truly reminds us to "take time to smell the roses". It is moments such as those you mention above, which heighten our senses and make up the fabric of life. Thank you for sharing.

Your descriptions are wonderful. Every word and stanza have a meaning, and it touches my heart. Nice piece. Greatly enjoy your work.

I cant help but think another year gone and i have to feel like the winter has a great hold of us. Time for coffee, I hope you are well.

Tangible
confetti textured visions
loose and free
drift on seasonal breeze
each moment
coiled within
each breath
woven without
aromas circulate
between pauses
all there is
is now

I read this when you posted it and began to type a reply, thanks mostly as this reply will also end in thanks. But, I stopped and decided to wait until you read thepoem, as I knew you would, being unable not to share the good. It was well done spoked as well as done written. It left me warm.
