Above me I love the sky
Below me I love the sea
Around me I love my friends
On my face I love a smile
In my belly I love a laugh
In my ears A Beatles tune
In my nose Wafts of fresh baked (anything)
In my hand A glass of wine
At my waist My husband’s arm
Under my feet A sandy beach
There’s too much in life
To enjoy and see
To love one thing exclusively
This was written for a prompt at Poetic Bloomings to write a poem for one thing I loved to do "above all else"--couldn't do "one thing" and this poem was the result. Received a "Bloom" in recognition of my creativity. And since Time's been short lately I'm sharing it with you and my fellow poets at dvsersepoets.com, where it's open link night! Anything goes :-)
Beautiful writing, Sara. There is so much to love in this world, isn't there? Your poem made me appreciate .....thank you!
