Today's poet

[Harry H Howgill]

The calm of the breeze envelops me,
Caressing my shoulders and tickling my neck.
It calls me forward through time and space.
On bent knee, I wait.
Leaves fall at my feet,
Cascading from their perches high above.
I close my eyes and inhale deeply.
Flowers, herbs, grass and spice
Move through the air,
Like cars on a twisted track.
In the distance,
Birds are singing their sweet lullaby.
Life is calm and appealing.
For once, I feel prepared...
For anything.

At the end of the day,
after all the work is done;
At the end of the day,
as we watch the setting sun;

After all the trials,
and after all the pain;
After all the struggles,
to make it through the day;
I thank God for peace and rest,
and for little smiles from you;

I thank God for rising stars,
and for little hugs from you;
For there is no blessing,
such as this I found so true:
It’s such a pleasure just walking home
at the end of the day with you!

ahhhh....soothing words for this overexcited soul. What a strange old evening. I've almost run the full gamut of emotions tonight what with one thing and another. This is the perfect tonic before bed.

Thanks to Xrunner too. That is lovely.

And relax............

Me too. I should have been having an early night tonight as I've got an early start tomorrow. A lot of things to do and my poetry, sorry paternity, leave is nearly through.

You could use one of HHH's limerick plants - but don't grasp its stem!
