![]() Moments Like TheseA Poem by Carey Lenehan![]() Just one of those glorious summer days when time slows down and all you do is appreciate the heat and how good it can make you feel.![]()
a sunny day, rare as a North Pole flower. Birds alight with song, celebrate this midday hour. At moments like these, peace is a reality.
Not the drone of cars or the rumble above of a passing plane. Not the thunder of lorries or the stench of a roadside drain, not one thing, can steal this moment
Children at rest, squabbles silenced by the heat, lying asleep in this perfect moment of absolute peace, before complaints and needs, disrupt or, at best, disturb this perfect day
Heat on my face and hands, light in my eyes, summer inside my mood, the wind a gentle sigh, no need to move or talk, just lie here in the heat, skin, gently browning.
Tomorrow rain will draw a blanket cloud of grey, across the wide and blue perfection of this day, and then we will forget this moment that we knew, this perfect moment we drew.
with reality so far away, with the sun's unhindered heat beating down my way, at moments like this, I can honestly say, I love my life. © 2008 Carey Lenehan |
