These I have loved...
These I have loved...
The dancing brightness of a candle wick
in a pool of shimmery wax; Roasting clouds on raven sticks;
soft wet noses
of bundles of fur; the delicious fragrance of velvet roses;
Angel tears dropping on silky petals;
Bubbling stew in kettles
over open fires; The roaring cheer of grads
throwing up their caps; the faces that make clowns so sad;
firm ripples of sand;
someone holding out their hand;
The thunderous claps
in the middle of the night; The sound of jean snaps;
the murmured gurgle of a baby's laugh;
the sounds of popping bubbles in a restful bath;
the green folded frosting leaves
on a birthday cake; woolen sleeves;
the sparkling gleam in the bright eyes
of new mothers; the satisfaction of a new buy;
transcendent bulbs of colored lights
nesting in Christmas trees; the sun setting into the night;
All these I have loved.
