The morning dew glistening in the sun,
Revealing small webs of life;
The chilly air requires a long soft robe,
Coffee slicing my webs like a knife.
Bacon fumes wafting past my nose,
Inviting me to sweet sustenance;
Feeling my way through sleepy eyes,
To reveal the bounty abundance.
Walking out on the covered porch,
Fingertips brushing the hand hewn log;
I gaze longingly at the mountains,
Watching the slow dance of the fog.
Sitting in the old rocking chair,
Warm coffee cupped in hand;
I spot a small group of deer,
Lazily meandering through the land.
Warm slippers envelop my feet,
As the little dogs go for my lap;
The big dog sniffs the morning air,
And the cat curls in the sun to nap.
Thoughts turn to the two-wheeled steed,
Parked in the barn for the winter;
It never stops calling to me,
The sun and wind it wants to splinter.
The warmth gives way to a wind,
And the glorious snow starts to fall;
Gigantic flakes of shining crystals,
Slowly drifting down covering all.
I hear the screen door open,
A familiar voice cuts the air;
A hand clasps mine from behind,
As we both settle down in the chairs.
Sounds of crackling from the fire,
The smell of wood makes me smile;
Another perfect day has begun,
My favorite things again compiled.
Ah, wow. You did it again. I found myself completely lost in the world you have created with your words. You have the ability to smother the reader in atmosphere. I want to breathe it in deeply. Marvelous writing.
Oh the joy! I haven’t ever experienced this but I think it’s one of my favorite things too. Such a peaceful picture you’ve painted. Kudos!
really great, love all the images you created. this poem somehow proves that the ordinary, natural things in life fill us woith happiness as well 🙂
Oh beauty! I just could imagine each and every line before my eyes, Torque! very picturesque, so to speak. My favorite part was the rocking chair one. I had such a chair once, but it’s now gone to the scrapheap I guess.
