Poems to Ponder 3: Joie de vivre
By: Larry L. Conners
Ah, the Joy of Life...To steal the juice from tomorrow's imagined fruit, that wondrous trope that exceeds our desperate grope...
To cling to fresh scents of natures vapors...a warm, earthy bouquet that give rise to primordial images of Man's first embrace with Mother Earth's protective arms...
Fill my lungs with such sweet tonic, a fully sated and platonic, Love Affair...
I love Life, and Life loves me... To look is to see, Beauty, not so rare...
When searching for something new, follow the worn path of yesterday...
Old friends provide hidden gems when blinkered eyes are swept away...
Peek, if you will, into my cloistered world, behold the majesty of silent contemplation, the fierce joy of rejuvenation....
Look there, under that willow branch, a woman pauses, tosses, a glance...You make a Willie Mays catch, toss it back, she smiles, such a sweet, sweet smile...
Oh, Heaven has opened up, what sublime pleasures await?...Two souls have met without saying a word...Is that not enough to relish forever..?
