A Poem by Donald Meikle

Golden morning light moments prior to pastel holds so many hues
Waking into beams shining on our window screens rise no time to lose
Stumbling out of bed standing taller once again things becoming clear
Automatic drive eliminating thinking slipping into gear

Sitting holding cup lost in concentration coffee waking thoughts
In my mindless state wrapped together tightly unconnected caught
Take another sip then gather a few to use lightly brushed in prose
Noticing the way that the Summer helps the muse rise from sweet repose

Wending through the day enjoying every part light and carefree hearts
Skip to summer breeze so contented with the ease life wings on to please
Endless Summer days remembered youthful romance evening foggy haze
Seasons too soon turn each carries lovers delight lately lazy days

So we savor time enjoying what we're given living hand in hand
Gardening and tied loving every moment grateful of eden

The title only hints at what is presented. Here, in a perfect 5-7-5 series of poetic thoughts grouped together into a very lovely and flowing poem. Richly done, sir.

I love the flow of words, bringing forth a pleasant image, reminding me of summer. From the very beginning, I found the poem very uplifting, and this sounded so morning-ish and I truly enjoyed this piece.
"So we savor time enjoying what we're given living hand in hand"- I love this part, it speaks about how we should enjoy every moment, and just makes life seem so special, which, it is haha. Great job :)

your words forever carry the lightness of delighted grateful ~ so little you ask of this world; a cuppa, the sunlit blessing of one.more.morning, an errant hummingbird come calling; dark, abundant summer soil ....... and vacant rocks begging attendance for the grace of incoming tide.

your smiles transcend time.

There's something bizarre and pleasing about this... it reads like a huge quilt; little pieces that almost match sewn together.

I like the poem very much, although had to concentrate harder than I would have had it had some punctuation ( the first line, especially, could use some) but obviously, you have deliberately left it out.

I think I'm going to read this one again...

Oh this is just gorgeous. The sounds in it and the way it lulls... beautiful. Your poetry sings of the joy of life you know, Donald... it is remarkable.
