Story's Jar

Even adults can be young at heart and share a simple lovely story together just because!

Story's Jar

Oh, tell me a story, my husband, my dear.

Attention I need; your love, your cheer.

Close together, these moments to share.

My soul is so empty, come warm me sir.

Your voice, rise and fall, is melody fair.

Weave me a tale, you’ve done before.

Lonely woods cabin,of trees moaning low.

We dream together, one heart, one soul.

Time is our gift, each second bestows.

Through honey smiles, Fill 'moments bowl.'

 Bright fire glowing, our minds gaze within.

Story plays onward, embrace words again.

we are writing a song together, we sing.

I know we are blessed. Together we cling.

You are my color, refreshing love every day.

Morning Prayer waking; Oh God hold him near.

Let today’s cares be gentle, no struggles nor fear.

Tomorrow unknown, Let him trust for today.

Let worries flee so that we can be free.

                                                                                  

 Let life be our rhapsody.

The preciousness of time and simple joys.

I agree, being told a story is a great delight, especially when loving the sound of another's voice in particular. It's too bad we seem to have lost the art of verbal storytelling . . . nowadays it seems to be mostly ranting or other drama. Your poem brings back gentle times of sharing . . . good use of bright imagery & the last line is one we all wish we'd written! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Right on barleygirl! This poem actually was inspired by my husband telling me a story. It was special and it needed to be shared mostly for me to remember and revisit the experience. I suppose that is partly what writing can do. Thank you so much for your lovely thoughts and helpful insights. It' just nice, what can I say!
Blessings,
Kathy

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thank you for reading this poem of mine.Yes. Isn't it true; we have such capacity to share love one with another. Yet it is the place of our own heart where the appreciation, the gratitude lives. Love your thought on this; "shared by one heart."
Bless you Alisa Js, and I hope you are enjoying your day and finding cool stuff to do.
Blessings to you.

[Einstein Noodle]

lovely romantic and inspiring ..we need to keep those things that spark our love for each other .. they do go out if left unattended ... your poem is so simply stated and your rhythm and rhyme give it music and wings in reading ..enjoyed it ...i should take it with me today ...but i'm just too busy .......... just kidding ;)))))))
E.
ps. great title ...one needs to take the jar down and open it up now and again for sure .. maybe re-fill it a bit!

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Einstein Noodle,
It is lovely to receive such a wonderful gem of advice in your review. Not only do I appreciate your advice, "keep those things that spark our love for each other..they do go out if left unattended." Very good to be reminded of these things. Thank you for that.
I often think that people will think my writing is just to simple or to introspective. It is so nice to be encouraged this way. You have no idea what it means.
We all, here in our writing have great opportunity to learn from one another.
Kathy

[Einstein Noodle]

yes we do my friend ... a wondrous opportunity for sure!! love and joy

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thankyou Mr. Einstein. You have placed a gem in my morning! Kathy

[Ted Kniffen]

Time spent with a loved one is precious indeed
within each golden moment you planted a seed
that when nourished becomes a song writ for two
that clings to the heart like first morning dew.

Well done, Kathy. Good write.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Ted kniffen,
Oh my! Who knew my eyes would be delighted by a sweet reminder of the reality of my experience by a poem review! This review is so nice. Our time is ours to enjoy "that clings to the heart like first morning dew." Beautiful sentiment here Ted.
Your poem above is special. Is it from some of your writing? I like it! Bye for now.
Kathy

[Ted Kniffen]

Kathy, it was written as a review for your poem, but will shortly become a new bit of writing for me. Your inspiration.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Way to go Ted! How wonderful! That is such a pleasant surprise. I am looking forward to reading it. I hope you will share it..
Blessings Kathy

Dig the ending Kathy. Togetherness is a precious commodity, one maybe taken for granted at times.
But you're right. Let worries flee so that we can be free.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Paul Bell,
Time in life is a precious commodity. Finding happy moments within is really special. I love how your reminded here in your review of something in our life moments that is important to remember. Worry is so difficult and so counter productive. Thanks, I appreciated what you have to say very much and blessings to you...........Kathy

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

I loved this. The sing song rhyming taking me from line to line. Lovely sentiments presented in a lighthearted style. Wonderful.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

MAD ENGLISHMAN,
Nice to know that we agree on the need for "lovely sentiments" in our moments of life. It's neat how people find so many of the same enjoyments. in common. These kinds of relational give and take do not have to be complicated but are just sweet giving and sharing........
Bless you today. kathy

[Jon Roggie]

Nice ode to a loved one. You feel the love.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Jon Roggie,
This was a first effort at submitting a poem for this lady, here on writers cafe. Thanks for reviewing. I hope that you enjoy the romance, if not with a loved one then in nature, thank fullness, people, friends, pets. I guess we can always find sweetness if we look for it.
Blessings, Kathy

time in a bottle,gets fuller as we grow together

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Wordman,
"Time in a bottle, gets fuller as we grow together." How true that is. With our days come experiences and with experiences come growth. We can hope, right? Thank you for reading and giving me a new train of thought. It is nice to be reminded of life truths. Blessings, Kathy
