To Life I Belong by Michael I love to watch the leaves stirring And the clouds as they race along To close my eyes against the sun And know that to life I belong I love the many scents I smell Grasshoppers jumping as I stroll The heat lightning against the night And all the things that keep us whole The breath on lips before a kiss Then eyes that close to savor it Such things in life are happiness Rekindled hope that once was lit There's so much pleasure that I see Such loveliness is all around From stars in their eternity To simple things upon the ground Such hope, such peace, such beauty bold The likes of these are part of me And yet much more my heart can hold The depth of which you cannot see Life has the fairest face of all So warm she is in my embrace Each day I wake I hear her call Her dress pale blue and trimmed in lace At least that's how I think of her That life's so sweet, her lips I'll kiss And cherish all she's given me A peaceful soul that's filled with bliss I look around and fall in love Such hope there is in all I see To breathe the air, to taste the rain So soothing I find it to be Proust- |

Such hope, such peace, such beauty bold The likes of these are part of me And yet much more my heart can hold The depth of which you cannot see all in all.. a most beautiful write ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

Michael~ I enjoy the way you capture the small nuances of life~ 'The breath on lips before a kiss Then eyes that close to savor it Such things in life are happiness Rekindled hope that once was lit' Very succinctly done. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

It sounds to me that life has been just good to you by sharing with you her many blessings, as you have respected her, and she knows it! After all...Nature is a woman! Oh, I loved this! Please visit me at my new homepage: |

Michael--I love the way you have personified life, "Life has the fairest face of all So warm she is in my embrace Each day I wake I hear her call Her dress pale blue and trimmed in lace" Wonderful writing, my friend!! |

Everyone, Thank you so much for your warm and generous replies to this piece. You're all very kind. I often enjoy looking at the simple things in life. The ones that when put together make up the whole picture. And yes, my friends, she has the fairest face of all. Wouldn't you agree? Thank you again.Michael Proust- |
