It is enjoyed
that time
when the swelter
of day
has succumbed
to the coming eve.
      The wind carries it
away
on gentle breeze.

Resting
upon     distant shores
leaving behind
only the gentle stirs
that tap
upon the chimes~

Melodious are the sounds...

and then      comes the still,
the quiet calm

that feeling of
oneness
when all is well
and life~

in it's purest simplicity
is a treasure

to have

to cherish....

Just~    to be...

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

This reads just like soft whispers to ones self in quiet solitude after one heck of a day. Beautifully shared. Double spacing on pauses to catch the extra moment in the read......just wonderfully written. Much enjoyed.

gentle breezes from from a gentle poet...
this reads like a dusky summer night of calm content.
Beautiful Donna...aw always you live up to your pen name

How she loves me, I dont understand
If time wont change me, perhaps she can
And I feel her trying when were apart
God dont let me break her heart

I enjoyed this so much - especially the pauses. Oh how we all need pauses in our lives. This was so delightful! Hugs, Marti

A delicate telling of the truth, Donna...
in lovely wispy words.
