A Simple Glass Of Wine |

Candlelight, soft music a glass or two of wine The richest bubbles in the bath and slowly I recline Within this peaceful haven where my mind wanders slow Each night I close my eyes Wait to see where it will go Touching gently on the past Just a memory or two Or perhaps hints of tomorrow Diamond dreams within the view Though lately it's pondered love as if to somehow understand how it slides right through my fingers as though a million grains of sand There seems not to be an answer though we tap gently on the door But yet within the scented moment I only need to touch, explore For within my heart is faith that for now we're doing fine With candlelight and bubbles and a simple glass of wine "Some people see the cup as half empty. Some people see the cup as half full. I see the cup as too large." ~George Carlin~ |

Here's a toast to your dreams coming true. After all, no one can take those away from us. Well done. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

What a feel good poem. Exceptional imagery and something most women can relate to when relaxing in a tub of bubbles. Your poem made me smile just thinking how good it always feels. |

dreamkeeper - this verse is so very meaningful and touching. Candle light, bubbles, and a glass of wine. How peaceful to me. Thanks for sharing these words. "For within my heart is faith that for now we're doing fine With candlelight and bubbles and a simple glass of wine" BC |

Thanks so much everyone! To hold tomorrow we must first be willing to let go of yesterday. |
