Precious Moments

Contemplating such things as
why we close our eyes
just before a kiss and
the powerful intoxication
of being in love,

I smile knowing that
I’ve experienced
these things and
much more like;
have you ever really
looked at the
wondrous intricacies
of ice crystals
on a window
kissed by winter?

Have you ever seen
the glowing
smiling face of a child
who admires you dearly?

Have you ever
pressed your ear
to the chest of
the one you love and
listened
to their heartbeat?

I ask these questions because
life goes by fast and
special moments

don't seem to last and

are at the very least 

fleeting so

don’t blink
because you just might
miss something.

    Beautiful. Your words speak truth, and they speak it well. I have experienced each of the things you described, and it brought them all together nicely. Love the quote as well.

    This reminds me a bit of a piece I wrote a long time ago. However, mine shrinks in the shadow of yours . For this piece is beautiful and well written. I am happy to know you can appreciate those little things many of us take for granted. It's the little things I love the most .

    I have and it's a wonderful sound.

    I'll try to take your advise and enjoy each moment
    with the ones close to me.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Very well-said. Life is only the moments we remember.
    And we will only remember the moments we truly see for what they are. Best to you here. Blue

    This is lovely ...

    and not only a good entry for this contest but some good advice coming from a 'cop' as well. I was a 'pine pig'(environmental cop) and enjoyed the 'no blink' views of nature as well as those special things in life that you mentioned. Good poem too! joy
