It’s The Everyday Cares
The little things that matter the most
The scent of fresh rain
It smells of the raw earth,
A wet summer downpour
A cleansing rebirth.
***
Feelings of insecurity
As I head out the door,
So I slip on six inch heels
Feeling sexy once more.
***
A steaming hot bath
Wrapping me in a hug,
Mediative and relaxing
A mood altering drug.
***
Sliding into cool sheets
On a warm summer night,
Silkiness on a naked body
Sensuous and a delight.
***
A well cleaned shag rug
Sheer pleasure on my feet,
Reminds me of a massage
My souls loving the treat.
***
Silence after a hard day
A relief to my stressed ears,
The opportunity of down time
Until my head finally clears.
***
A walk in a rainforest
Totally immersed in creation,
Carefree and blissfully happy
An everyday mini vacation.
***
The aroma of a new candle
After it’s been freshly lit,
The scent perfuming the air
Forcing dark thoughts to split.
***
The heartwarming music
Memories in every beat,
As I cast back into the past
Where I’ve a front row seat.
***
The warm hug of a loved one
A feeling of bliss and peace,
Soothing my pain, my fear
As my torments decrease.
***
The smell of food cooking
As I walk through my door,
A labour of love, a blessing
And all I could wish for.
***
It’s the little things that matter
Giving me the comfort I need,
Stress removed, love received
My emotions soothingly freed.

About the Creator
Colleen Millsteed
My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
