Precious Moments
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
Unadulterated, sparkle of the
Sun’s brilliance caressing,
Gently the lids of sleepy eyes.
The tiny little bud clinging,
To the dainty, supple, twig
sending pleasant cries!
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
Hands around warm cup of tea
On a chilly winter morn
Steam thawing gently
Frozen stories unborn
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
Moon hiding behind clouds,
Playful, teasing, frolicsome
Wanting to fall in waiting arms.
For that long expected slow dance
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
That grimy plump small hand
Even smaller fingers
Stretching to touch a face,
The whiff of vanilla chocolate
Nourishing heart and substance
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
Feeling of home, shelter
Assurance and refuge
Burly arms, warm, comforting
Carrying commitment huge
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
When nature picks up
The paint brush and dances
Splashing red yellow
The golden ball of ardor
Smiles indulgently.
That last smile of the day, harder
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
One cannot fathom,
The songs, stories, secrets hidden.
Dripping sweetness and yearning
The mystical smile of love forbidden
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
Wrinkle, crinkle, crumple
Appear on face like
Artistry exceptional, unparalleled
A potboiler, a parable
A toothless grin lovable
Romance with life- so ‘special’
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
A withheld surprise
A theft, a steal
Not to take away
But to hand out, lifetime of
Unexpected Undertakings
Touchstone lovemaking
Butterfly remembrance unfading!
Precious Moments, just appear,
Unannounced, austere.
