Have You Ever...?

gentle prose about feelings

Have you ever…?

 

 

 

Have you ever

Lain in the cool grass of the morning

Letting the dew touch your skin

And the smells of the air

relieve your pains and worries

 

Have you ever

Looked at a new painting

Gazing at each color and tone

Feeling as if you were inside

Looking out

 

Have you ever

Watched the waves of the ocean

And as you listen to the sounds

And smell the salted air

You realize you are swaying

With each wave

 

Have you ever

Touched the cheek

Of a beautiful woman

Or wiped a tear from her eye

Or ran your fingers through her hair

Or gently kissed her lips

 

If not

 

Then you have never lived.

Yes, I'm very glad to say, I've done all of those things. Thank you for reminding me. Such precious images you conjur.
