A Moment In Time



A moment frozen, suspended in time,
Warm breeze kissing skin, blue skies above,
A peaceful park, a moment sublime,
No worries or cares, just peace and love,
Birds chirping with unbridled joy,
Watching children play, freedom to enjoy.

Memories of laughter, a pure joy,
As we soak in this moment in time,
The world comes alive, a colorful joy,
Trees sway to the beat of nature above,
Our souls renewed, love’s warmth we enjoy,
The essence of life, a feeling exalted.

A moment like this, truly sublime,
A chance to experience pure joy,
Savoring every second we enjoy,
This fleeting, yet memorable time,
Grateful for the beauty from above,
A memory we’ll cherish with joy.

A moment captured, to remember with joy,
The intricate details, truly lofty,
The feeling of freedom, flying above,
We bask in life’s pleasures, a pure joy,
This moment etched in the fabric of time,
A precious gift, ours to enjoy.

And how we savor this moment of joy,
This experience that’s truly noble,
Treasured keepsake, now preserved in time,
Appreciation for life, a pure joy,
We are grateful for this gift from above,
A moment we’ll forever enjoy.

In this moment, everything else above,
We pause and bask in the beauty of joy,
A timeless gift, elevated and full of enjoy.

I'm just a regular, blue collar, working stiff who took an interest in writing poetry many years ago but until recently I haven't had a desire to share any with anyone or pursue publication. I'm an unpublished fork lift operator by night, and a day drinker by choice. I can be followed on Twitter @JoeStricklandSC more…

    I could swear you're tapping into my mind and stealing my ideas :). The 'unbridled joy' phrase is such a meaningful combination of words. The first time I heard it was maybe in an old song (Doors?) and never forgot the feeling it evoked in my soul.
    If I were to offer one suggestion (now I'm sounding like AIDA :)...the words 'joy' and 'enjoy' might be slightly overused. Otherwise the visuals and emotional impact are very strong!
