~ To Taste Of Life, Completely ~

~ To Taste Of Life, Completely ~

How marvelously delicious it would be
To taste of life, completely
To sweep into a patch of grass
Moves me warm, and ever-lasts

Comes a time, souls swim green
And takes of time, soft and sultry
As cotton wind on feathered feelings
Soaking up, buttercups, and just thinking

An inkling, of what may brightly bloom
Ginger berries, manifesting mushrooms
Frolicking faeries, growing golden wings
Their softness, subtle, through quiet sings

Comes a time, when the world so still
Echoes nothing, but dreams fulfilled

As a perfect plethora, of dancing lights
Birthing beauty, at creative heights

From such is poetry, and artistry born
Where all  the world, with color adorned
Oh, how delicious, it would be
To taste of life, completely...

Hello Tony, 
this is a scrumptious read indeed. There is flavour to your writing, which is so apt as this poem is about tasting life :) 

I cannot pick a favourite line, because it is all so tantalisingly delicious to read. You have spilled a delicate blend of poetic substance, which trickles into the imagination of the reader, and plays on their senses. Very clever my friend. I must admit, I did particularly enjoy the buttercups. I use to love fields of buttercups, and would lay in them as a child. Thank you for such an immersive amalgamation of life’s natural wonders. I feel invigorated and pampered 

Keep writing such wonderful words 
your friend 
Gwen :)

You really are most welcome Tony .. As far as I am concerned there seems little point in only reading a fellow scribes most recent scribbles, or indeed necessarily reading them in strict chronological order ..
I invariably like to see where & how, if not also why my peers are where they are today and where they have come from ...................

Audit completed and you passed with flying colours ... must be all them rockets .............................. AGT's Neville 🌻
