Better Than Gold

Better Than Gold

A Poem by Thomas W Case

"
There are moments in
my life that are
too wild and
beautiful to be
tamed or captured by
words or sentences.
Musical notes could
do a better job at
conveying the experience.
D minor
or C sharp major.

My mind replays
the moments,
alive with pentatonic scales
and the taste of homemade
apple cider, and pomegranate
security.
I smell the burning leaves of
late October, and feel
the smooth nose of my
childhood Appaloosa, her
dappled coat, and trusting eyes.

Sometimes the world, and
all its goodness
stupifies me, and leaves
my spirit rocking gently in
a cradle, where I know it's
all going to be okay.

Thank you. Much appreciated.
Wow, this is so good...and truth that shows there are some poems that are better left
unwritten, because the beauty they would try to depict would fall short.

Thanks. Much appreciated.
Ah, but that such thoughts and memories could dominate our consciousness. As it is, the unpleasant memories, coupled with the current state of the world, keep us in states of stress.
