Seeing.
In this enlightened age
the nearer I come to my final
breath the brighter sun
looks when it rises each day
and the fiercer tumble
green waves to break on beach
bleached to more silver
than I can remember seeing.
Louder each feathered song,
flowers extra vivid bloom under
much bluer sky, ultra
intense howls a storm as gale
thunders thru' landscape
renting and lashing with wilder
falls of cleansing rain.
Waking to view combinations
as morning in full spate,
expresses a clearer fascination
seems to make senses
the keener to join glad exultation
for nature's beauty,
and glory in new ways of viewing
with joyous sensation.
Just being alive is enough if love
lights the day for when
closer draws endings seems greater
the need to peer again
and hear how earth's ready music
vibrates so gracefully.

Very nice piece Fay
Thank you for your visit and comment on Seeing. So pleased you liked the read.
This is a remarkable poem so well crafted by the great mistress of words, our very own Fay Slimm .. Long admired by me and so many others ..
Characteristically written in such a way that those of us who stop by to ponder and gawp can't help but appreciate her perception and prowess with a pen ..
Indeed, those of us who may have a few years under our belts will also no doubt understand completely where she is coming from today and empathise accordingly .. x
Neville
Wow a veritable bouquet of words that bring on my blushes dear Nev........... yuo are kinder than kind to my poetic efforts and thanking you loads................x
Lovely writing Fay 🙂
How kind of you to stop by and your review of the piece is so appreciated dear Violet.
life as it should be lived is a beauty in itself..
..but drugs and mind altering substances cloud its appreciation... though glimpses are still beautiful
thank you for a glimpse today
You are a hero and a great example of positive thinking my Dusky friend - - thanking you ever so much for reading my take on Seeing.

In addition I will add, if and then when I wake up tomorrow I'm going to relish all the textures and happenings which are thrown at me.
And its textures, Fay, you fill your poetry with. Thank you.

I had to read this poem aloud, with all the emotion that reverberates within. You have managed to put into words the indescribable feeling of life's true measure. The awakening of the soul. Thank you dear friend for this piece of perfection.

Yes we often look at life and nature a lot closer when time makes us more aware - - thank you Andy for your comment on Seeing.
such Gorgeous Poetry!
Crazy, how essence-aligned we can be to others
Just the other day I began penning something with the same theme, dear Fay
(although our numerical age, may lack vitality's youth
still, for some of us
tender be our heart's years and thus, in our autumn
we seize Sunset twilight's, Sunkissed scenes
and in acceptance, align our pulse
with inevitability's coming tide of finiteness
flowing with life, as it was meant to be unearthed
one milestone breath, at a time...)
What a stunningly appropriate review of Seeing and thank you L.B. for your visit and time taken with this poetic comment.
