The Delicate Weight Of Life

Gently Making Its Mark

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 7 months ago Updated 7 months ago 1 min read

goosebumps gather on my skin

where sunshine remnants left its mark

breezes brush the fine hair on my wrist

it gently whispers, "summer's here"

a subtle memory reappears

drawing your essence, crystal clear

like stars, I make a wish

the water rippling a lovely tune

the fragrant scents, fill up the room

the echos remind me of you

how can my heart resist

to pull them in and soak them up

collect them in a paper cup

all I need do is just look up

to receive heaven's kiss

the sun breaks through and parts the clouds

it comes in silence, holy, profound

afterall, that's what love's about

finding myself lost, to reminisce
