Silly Little Moments

Still is the air in the night as I drive beneath a cloudless sky.

Accompanied by the moon and more stars then I could ever

Count even if I lived to be a million years old.

 

Still is my love by my side, undisturbed as I drive.

Not awake on this night. The moons light finds her

 Supple cheek to rest upon while she lies safe and unstirred.

 

 I preserve this moment in time, not knowing why.

 Captured and bottled ,It will be stored along side my love

deep within the recesses of my heart

 

How could this moment be so important to me?

This silly little moment of mine. Surely

There would be countless others like it for years to come.

 Forever more

 

It would be years before I would know the answer

To this question. Storms would come and storms

Would go to assure that love would never grow

 

I would visit this moment and others like it

That I have collected over the years to find comfort

In their warmth. These silly little moments of mine.

These precious little moments in time.

 

Still is the air in the night , now I stand beneath cloudless

Skies. Under the same stars that I could never count

Even if I lived to be a million years old. Accompanied

By the moon whose light will not find on this night

Her supple cheek to rest upon, by my side………..

Forever more.

 

Author's Note

Appreciate your moments together and in your hearts those moments will live forever.

I love how you repeat stanzas in some or the majority of your poems. I love this verse.

These precious little moments in time.

After losing my wife I was able to reach back at those moments. I really put an emphasis on those little moments in life. Thanks for reminding us of this fact. Great write. I am still making my way through the request and I am loving every minute of it.

This is very beautiful, and descriptive. The thoughts and sentiments can easily be related to. Your writings are always like a gift! Keep up the wonderful expressions.

I really like the nonchalent way you say it is silly little moments that are actually not......

[Sara]

i can picture this perfectly. you have created such a strong image, its beautiful too. sometimes when you love someone so much, just watching them sleep, lit up by the night sky, is the most beautiful thing, and moments like that make life worth while.

awesome poem!

I can just picture driving on such a beautiful night with only my thoughts (my thoughts alone). To watch another sleep and to be able to see beauty only a beholder holds, undescribable.

You hold onto a memory, which I have learned in life, are more precious than many lasting moments I have experienced. No one will ever take that away!

I see a reflective side to you which touches my heart. I have not read too much poetry in a while, and now that I am back on here reading, your words make me smile and give me the drive to pour some words out of my heart once again. Thanks for the inspiration and as always, sharing your words. You mean the world to me!

BEAUTIFUL!!! SO TRUE!! I loved this...they are the nostaligic past to increase ones hope for the future and light a smile in the present...these made moments!

[Kriss]

That is so sweet, and it has quite the message in it. Because it's true, you should appreciate every momment with the ones you love, because you never know when they could be gone forever. I love your writing it makes me feel so much better, and it gives me the drive to change myself as a person sometimes hahaha. Nice job!

Aww geez..this is beautiful! It shows how much you loved someone so dearly and how much you miss her, by remembering a moment in time as you express that became more meaningful in its absence. A touching show of sentimentality and a quiet grief. This is how I feel sometimes..wishing my eyes could make a snapshot of moments in my life I wished to keep forever. Well done.

Very beautiful! I loved the way you wrote this. Like a gentle breeze caressing my cheek, or a melody sung in my ears. I always love the way you write, easy to read, and it flows well.

however, why not use different font and colors? your poetry is so wonderful, you need to present it in a more asthetically pleasing fashion. The lettering could be softer and more delicate. But then again, this is just my opinion. Nothing to take to heart.
