      A Poet's Way

Touch the gentle blush
of a fine Spring morning

Taste each scent of a
soft Summer sunset

Walk in infinite wonder
through a rainbow Autumn
  forest

Revel in the pristine beauty
of a downy Winter-snowfall

Celebrate each fleeting
moment of the glorious
  ‘now’

Remember all the joy in
the first bloom of new
  love

... and above all else
always stay humble
  and kind

I was so happy to read your poem tonight before I went t sleep because right after I woke Billy for work this morning I read a lovely poem by Jerrypat too all in the same day! We live pretty much in the now you write of. We stay busy but always have time for each other and natural things that make us happy. What wonderful thoughts you have not the least of which is your willingness to share them!

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.

Thanks Ms. "D.o.V." ... glad to hear that there are other "Now-ists" out there across the vast and nebulous cyber-sea !

Sometimes the NOWs of life maybe so bitter and heartless, reading your poem taking NOW with optimism and wonder in the beauty of the world around us is an eye opener, or shall I say a heartwarming opener.
