To Soar

•

to feel the warmth of early spring sun
to wander through old growth
to see the sunset into the pacific
to breath in the fragrance of summer
to see joy in another’s eyes
to hear my child’s laughter
to be breath-taken by art
to be dazzled by autumn’s palette
to taste the richness of chocolate
to immerse in the rhythms of music
to see the morning dew sparkle
to hear the sweet lilt of a thrush
to know the quiet of snowfall
to raise my voice in song
to drift on a clear mountain lake
to get lost in poetry
to feel your gentle touch

…is to soar

to just try to fly is to fall short, one must expect to soar, then leap

  1. Absolutely wonderful, a pure and uplifting appreciation of all life has to offer, just wonderful … I loved it … and I loved the collage too!

    1. You are welcome Gloria — we all get bogged down in the stress and complexity of everyday life, and we forget to seek the clarity of the simple beauties of living…
