One Thousand Somethings

one leaves behind so many
things,
but most of all, the smiles
that bring
a sense of calm, this
attitude
no matter what, there’s
no intrude
into day’s light, where there’s
harboring
a sense of joy, yes, this you
bring

so let me count all that you
do
on fingers and toes, I’ll start
with two
ways you delight me so,
my dear,
one, being you, the other,
being near
then we’ll go on to count of
three
and that is when we form a
we

so from this point we’ll carry on
traipse through twilight, on till dawn
the stars shall multiply all thoughts
of the somethings that you’ve brought

as one leaves behind so many
things
a sense of joy, yes, this You
bring

I am SO serious, I absolutely adored this one, and printed it out! Now this is my favorite of yours, as it was perfect in every single way! I too love the last two lines, and what higher love is there than that?

This is so romantic! It's so true. We do, often unknowingly, leave behind so many little somethings. This is a wonderful piece!

Been spending time in the land of introspection dear lady? Very nicely done... very nicely presented and flows wonderfully... still in the end what is left behind after a thousand somethings.... is perhaps 6 degrees removed from something someone else left...and we might find the most unkind act did in fact spur reactions that triggered more actions or simply left hope...

again... very nicely done... I enjoyed!

I may not be real... but something here is. Enjoyed the sentiment... although the way it was posted made we work for it. Don't know if that was by intention or just internet mechanics at work. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

this is classic Decca poetry....

We're all feeding our lonely ... like it might go away,
Like the doors of heaven will swing wide ... if we just find the right words to say.
