To spend a day,
a day that’s real
without the need
where I can feel
no want, no greed.
Without the greed
there will be time
to breathe the air
with scents of thyme,
and time to share.
With time to
share
I’ll hold your hand
we’ll touch the sky
and make a stand,
to love, then sigh.
To spend a day
to love and sigh
the only need,
just you and I,
no want, no greed.

Sounds like heaven!
ReplyDeleteAh, sounds like an ideal day really. No want / no greed & holding hands. Bliss.
ReplyDeleteSome of my happiest days have been low-key, no-frills, with just taking in the looks on my loved ones' faces.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet poem!!
ReplyDeleteTo spend a day to love and sigh sounds perfect. How lovely having someone to spend it with.
ReplyDeleteOh sigh......what a day, what a life....one I can aspire to.....I loved this form too!
ReplyDeleteThis, dear Julian, might be my latest favorite of yours. I love the tone, the mood, the rhythm. I feel that two hearts can dance to this one, chanting the words into each other's eyes, making music with the beating of their hearts. Sweet and tender... loving fun.
ReplyDeleteGentle and sweet poem.
