Standing before a birthday cake
Looking up at a star
Leafing through a store catalog
Scrolling through a shop website
All these seem so unrelated
But have one thing in common.
Feelings flying high upon the wind
A kite soaring across the sky
Fishes swimming up stream
A child up on Christmas Eve
All seem so different but see
They all imitate my emotions now.
You are all I so wish for tonight
A candle burning by a window
The prayer beside my bed
My dream across a horizon
All have you in common
Beneath our covers
And side by side
‘Til the wheels wear out.

I really like this . Beautiful writing 🙂
Thank you. In my mind, I rarely write so-called “pretty poems” but this one seems to fit this time of the year.
Good write C.
Thank you I really appreciate your compliment. I’m a little surprised that I’m even getting any. God be praised!
Oohh yes, I will try to look in on your poems a bit more often! 🙂
wonderful imagery
thanks for sharing
I get my sense of imagery and metaphors for the fact that I was once a practicing artist and a damn good one. Thanks for a great eye doctor I can now see a lot more and appreciate not just natures beauty but all of the cosmos.
Nice lines on the flow
Thank you so much for the compliment it has helped boost my day and makes me feel gratified that I wrote something nice.
