Sun Kissed Days

Modern Pace
The light enters through the window,
my heart captures a magical moment.
The sun bathes me with love,
for a moment my spirit soars.
Modern life a fast pace journey,
our time misspent, we seek balance.
Pieces of ourselves scattered here, there.
We juggle days, we juggle lives,
we run and chase unattainable dreams.
We need to look within ourselves,
climb out of the walls of
our heart, to receive our desire.
To find peace, to find love,
leave our fingerprint here and now.

Very true, nice verse by you, need to come out of our shell and if it doesn't work, what the umm bell. Keep on going and growing.
ReplyDeleteLook within to see what goodness that lays dormant. Latent power can bring surprises.

Nice, I couldn't agree more too.
ReplyDeletei like how you had the pieces of ourselves spent here and there
ReplyDeleteand then you came back to that image, only deeper, with the end. i only noticed that on the second read. i felt it on the first, cause i just read to read on the first read.
really good stuff:)
I can agree with you Ayala :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat. :) need to live today, that's all we are promised.
ReplyDeleteI love this, and it made me feel so soothed. Thanks for that.

ReplyDeleteOceangirl, I think everyone I speak to feels this way...we juggle so much and what are we missing while doing that?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Molly. I hope all is well by you. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Ayala, this is my favorite poem you have ever written! Love and Peace - that is what it is all about. Isn't it? I hope to find it today.
ReplyDeletemy heart is always lifted by light shining through windows...
ReplyDeleteAyala- I love how each line is six words. I also have a Friday challenge on Imaginary Garden with Real Toads...

the look within, such an important shift to make. Lovely write ~ Rose
ReplyDeleteOur time misspent - what a sad truth. It's amazing how we fracture ourselves to keep pace, isn't it? But being here now, laying hands on the present, that's wholeness.
ReplyDeleteFunny to me that as we seek this 'elusive' balance, we are loathe to let go of things that throw it off. Those quiet, sunlit moments when we stop and listen to ourselves are so precious. You're writing is always a sunlit moment for me. With your words I slow down, reflect, listen. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm having one of those days where everything I do feels like time misspent. I think it's time to head outside and play with my boys
ReplyDeleteOh, this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour poem is a peaceful respite from a fast paced modern world. The reminder to tune in and show up is an important one.
ReplyDeletenice!
Thank you, Caroline. I hope that you find it today and everyday :)
ReplyDeleteLeslie..I feel the same way :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laurie :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose :)
ReplyDeleteKate, that is wholeness :)
ReplyDeleteAdrienne...you are so sweet. How wonderful to hear you say that, thank you!
ReplyDeleteSara...go play with your boys ! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mama Zen :))
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brook :)
ReplyDeleteI fear that I leave fingerprints
ReplyDeletejust everywhere, but messily: smudges, misprints!
Ah, to be intentional AND adept!
That may be my unattainable dream. ;)
ah wonderful moments when the sun bathes us with love...also love that part with the fingerprints...true..
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like Luxembourg - is it?
ReplyDelete"We juggle days. We juggle lives." Yes, and we need a little more time reflecting on what's truly important.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo with this post! Beautiful park!
Melissa...you can do it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Claudia :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Zeba. :)
ReplyDeleteLady Jennie, it's Paris :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mel :)
ReplyDeleteI like the way your piece eases in with a sunlit magical moment, then segues into the frenetic ways of modern life, then, in a artful way, comes full circle to peace and love. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNamaste..........cj
Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, CJ.
ReplyDeleteNamaste.
