Within Those Moments

"Its worth every treasure on earth to be
young at heart." ...Frank Sinatra Gold.

Found a rock in Laughlin
shaped like a heart.

Sometimes when I look at it
I think of my sweetheart.

A heart shaped rock
composed of stone.

A heart not quite as soft
since my sweetheart
left me alone.

My sweetheart called me
from far away yesterday.
Within those moments
she seemed so close,
smile...

Found the rock while walking beside
the Colorado River while walking
with my oldest son and his girlfriend
in May.  A river rock with a break on
top like a V, that leaves it looking
remarkably like a heart.

Nice find and nice write

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

So much happens within a moment and perhaps one day our whole experience here will be as one moment.  To find a heart shaped rock amongst the millions is a wonder!
