Treasure
or Trash
Treasure
The Touch
I treasure things I touch
that bring pleasure to the skin
It may be a soft silk
shirt or what is there within
I treasure the energy that
touches my fingers and my eyes
It makes the smile
brighter as discovering a suprise
I love to find a treasure
of photos from the past
It makes me know that the
memories will stand the time and last
I love the treasure of
time we spend here and now with grace
It may be the best present
that is sent from a heavenly place
I do not bury treasure or
pack it away from light
I want to touch it daily
and feel its energy flight
I will touch an old soft
blanket or old wood photo frame
I find the soft center in
the remembering that came
But
What I truly treasure is
the future of time and space
What I do not know but
will touch my hands, my hair, and face
What tears will fall from
the treasures long time lost
What now replaces those
drops is new energy tossed
So
Treasure your time with
those both young and old
Time will take both youth
and age
and
you can not rerun
A day or hour or second
once its past your way
Treasure your time with
friends
both old and newly found
Time with them expands
your heart and makes a place within
A wonderful garden space
where you can plant
the
seeds of faith and love
begins
Treasure the kiss
...Treasure the touch... Treasure the time
We have on earth
Treasure the colors....
pastel and bright
Treasure the moon you see
tonight!
Treasure the kiss ...Treasure the touch... Treasure the time - I just love this, what a fantastic poem, full of life and wisdom and excellently written. Well done.
ReplyDeleteAh indeed. There is so many little, ordinary things that surround us and we so often forget they are there, until we lose them and then it's too late to treasure them...
ReplyDeleteall that touch us deeply should have to be treasured...i like how you've included nature, time and love in the list...a beautiful poem...
ReplyDeleteWise advice, Rae Ann... and such an eloquent poem. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI do think it is good to keep the treasures OUT rather than hidden away. The treasures are to be enjoyed and the experiences remembered. And so true about the photos from the past -- they are richer than so many other things of MUCH greater material value.
ReplyDelete"Treasure the moon you see tonight" - remember to treasure all your times - good and bad! Thanks for sharing that!
ReplyDeletetime is indeed a treasure, as our life here on this planet earth is measured; have a nice Wednesday
