Just the other day
I was sitting on the bus
the bus that gets me to where i need to be
helpless, but to stare out of the window
it was such a bright and sunny day
sky, bluer than I'd ever seen it
Imagining for just a moment
the carpet of rose that we passed
performing the mexican wave just for me
and in the distance
the magnificent oak trees
applauding the bright pink wave
startled by sound awakening my Imagination
birds, chirping in their orchestra of whistle
the sky window on the bus, wide open
allowing me to hear their sweet melodies
reflecting on the fact that their music was perfect
even without the clever hands of a conductor
every so often stopping
at a zebra crossing
allowing the other humans
to cross the road on foot
making their way
to wherever they were destined to be
and I?
well finally I'd reached my destination
so very grateful
to have been part of this magnificent moment
of imagery and sound
finally reaching my front door
placing my key into the keyhole
reflecting once more
on the simplicities of life and…
how very lucky I am just to be alive.

I love the joy and gratitude in this poem sweet Teddy.
Thank you so much sweet, sweet Thomas. 🌹
how very true Teddy...and how lucky we are.
stunning;
My dear Melvin, so very kind of you to come by and say, yes, we are lucky through all we see that's bad there is always a silver lining or a sea of rose's thank you always dear friend. 🌹
Teddy, your words are uplifting and thankful. I enjoyed your journey. And Kew Gardens I know so very well. Have visited many times. So close to where I once lived as a child. My grandparents used to take me there. A lovely nostalgic post for ne. Hope your day has been a good one.
I used to work on Kew road, Kew gardens is so very special to me too, thank you dear Cassie, I have a had a beautiful day thank you, I hope you did too. 🌹thank you so much.
I took this a couple of ways but the one I like best is that all life is the same in value and worth. We tend as humans to aggrandize ourselves above all other forms. Here anthropomorphized they are on the same level. I hope that at the end when you return to reality this is not lost. A fun and enjoyable write Teddy
Dear sorrenbarret you are perfectly right as always, just a simple bus ride turning into a theatrical play as I myself would say. There is much beauty hidden in everything, we just have to look. Thank you dearest sorrenbarret 🌹
Such wonderful words Teddy, the beauty of life as you pass through it is so inspiringly beautiful.
Andy
Dear Andy, some days your love of life rubs off onto me. Happy Friday dear friend 🌹
Extremely visual and descriptive
Enjoyed the stroll
The Mexican. wave took me back to that glorious world cup
And the hand of God goal by Maradona v England
As a Scot
The best goal ever
You should have stopped writing after the 3rd line dear Peto I too remember that well and never did I ever put the two together until this moment lol 🤣
