One Day

One Day

A Poem by OneAmongstMany

One Day

 

Peering into the unknown

Anything can exist.

 

I see green fields and a freshwater stream

Flowing through the long reeds and grass

Which line its course,

Flowing like the living fever that runs through us

Turning the mundane into the awe-inspired.

 

I see lazy Sundays and lazy every days

And the orange sunsets which grace our elderly eyes.

We have lived and loved and lost and loved again

And now we sit in comforting wonder

At the beauty in which we are blessed to exist.

 

I see crackling fires and white-topped hills

The pure, clear snow that dances through the sky

Before taking a well-earned rest on the tip of your nose.

That always made you laugh

Funny how winter often seems the warmest.

 

I see the vegetable patch and garden shed

And the quiet hobbies which now divide our time.

Our contentment stems from the simple life

Where anger or grief are vanquished

By the slightest hint of a faint half-smile.

 

I see our night-time dreams and lullabies

We weave in and out of each other’s minds

Not even sleep can force us apart.

The warm sunshine of golden morning sky

Wakes us and brings with it the smile of fulfilment.

 

Do you see it too?

I promise you, one day we will live it.

There are many lines I like in this romance of memories. It is hard however to pick out just one or two.

Thank you :)
You really do paint with a pen. The imagery displayed is exquisite. Vivid in detail and rich in possibility. Another fine piece you have created.

"I see lazy Sundays and lazy every days"

I like that. Great work all day.
