Poem: It’s A Wonderful Taste
By: Anthony J. Langford
Streaming slates of light
Room encrusted gold
Music soars, billowing
Even in silence
Possibilities in motion
There’s a feeling
Stronger than love
Not from within
But externalized
Expanding to the horizon
And beyond.
Life is never so pure
Divine
Than in hope
With dreams on the edge
Existence to taste
Something from within
Raises high
And out
For you to Share
And in that delicious, fleeting moment
You know you are alive.

I really like this. I think about that moment, and how fleeting it is. Langford’s poem makes it all the more palpable.
What a beautiful poem – reminding us how exquisite the simple things are in life
Thank you for reading Robyn and Ayela and taking the time to comment. 🙂
I picture a writer sitting at his desk, chewing his pen, trying to think of what to write, and then an idea comes, and with that idea hope, hope that this idea will lead to a great story.
