On Top of the World!A Poem by Marshal GebbieIn the coo of a dove and the worm in the ground, With the look in your eye when you smile at my face The lift of the brow as penny drops into place. Exquisit-ness found in the phrases you write And the softness of shadows when day turns to night, The touch of your fingertips touching my brow The wonder engaged when you show me how. The love of the feeling of being alive And the buzz of the bee at it's honey filled hive, The taste of tomato, acidic with bite And the roar of the laughter when joke telling's right. The scent of the lavender, colours of rose And the joy of the tones in a violin's prose, Pink cheeks in the frostiness, dancing blue eyes And the look on your face when I spring a surprise. Hot bacon for breakfast with two poached eggs And I've swallowed my coffee right down to the dregs. Such splendour surrounds on this beautiful day I'm at the top of the world in a wonderful way.
