COMMON DENOMINATOR
24 January 2012

There have been the flower-days
and the tree-days
and the rollercoaster-days
and the sun-days on the swings
and the roundabouts
and the hide-and-seek-days
in laughter and tears
and the fun-days in forests and meadows
and the sand castle on-the-beach-days
and the corner-shop meeting days
and the song-days and the whisper-days
and the fragile-heart word-days
and the sky-touch exhileration-days
and the finger-tip caress-days
and the soft-eyed kiss-days
and the pillow-talk closeness-days
and the melting-hot passion-days
and the glass-sparkle dawns
and the simmer-soft dusks
and the deep silent night-days
but what doesn’t change
is that there is
always
us.

Beautifully constructed, Owl, and beautifully said. In other words, it's beautiful.

And that's a great common denominator. I recognize alot of your other poems in this... And remembering them brings added meaning to this. A beautiful testament.

Thank you, Michael, for reading, for commenting, for recognising the common denominator in this and other of my poems, and for your kind words. Smiles. Having the common denominator is sometimes a rough road, sometimes it is an easy one, but it is always a very precious one and one that both he and I nurture.
