My Wonder Of Life.

Goldfinch60



I sit in my garden,

The day is turning to night,

A glass of Laphroaig beside me.

I sit and listen,

Listen to Nature’s Symphony

As the birds call out,

Call out goodnight to me.

A sip of scotch in my mouth

Deserved at the end of this day,

This day I my life

Where all is well.

And I sit here relaxing

And thinking of the beauty,

The beauty in my life.

My lover with me forever,

Music in my life forever

And the glory I find,

The glory I find in Nature.

So as the darkness creeps,

Creeps into the day,

I know I am a lucky man,

Lucky to live my long life

And be able to appreciate,

Appreciate the wonder of life,

The wonder of my life.

        A litany of the things we love is always consoling to write and moving to the audience... we all have a different version but we also recognize the comfort in another soul's catalogue of blessings... water or wine, soda or scotch, cheers all around.

            Yes a single malt - Laphroaig is my favourite. We are going away this weekend and the Hotel in which we are staying sell Laphroaig so a good weekend all round.

            Appreciation is such an encompassing feeling, and really all it takes is just for one to pause, reflect, look within and without. I feel like this piece does just that, and conveys the emotion so well in the process. A heartfelt write full of self disclosure. Thank you for sharing, gifted one.

            • Goldfinch60

              That pause and reflection mean so much in life. Thank you for your kind words Garth.
