lying in the sun
listening to this
i think of you
when i think of you
i think of summer blue skies and smiles
a party on the beach
dancing in the supermarket aisles
laughing at the back of the bus
i know i struck a windfall
finding that black pearl in the oyster
a rare moment of
happiness deserves to
be immortalised in verse
Love these rare moments of happiness...Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy summer memories.......how wonderful! I hope you were able to hang onto that black pearl.
ReplyDeleteVerses can immortalize many things, so why not happiness? Yes!
ReplyDeleteYou write your beautiful poetic snippets as though you have somehow read my mindn too as there is so many beautiful memories that I share with those that I too have lost.
ReplyDeleteAmen to summer, black pearls, and poetry!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Rare moments of happiness should be cherished 💜
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the moment.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a pearl. And I completely agree with the motif: the moments that brighten our days, the ones that make us lighter of heart, the ones that nourish our happy bones... they should be preserved, kept closed.
ReplyDeleteI imagine that the black pearl is grinning ear-to-ear having read this. Wonderful poem, worthy of the elemental name. :)
