This Moment

 
 
Seeing you
like this
the promise
wrapped within
your soft skin
of petals.
































Knowing
your future
unfurled
becomes
a gift
of pure beauty.
 























This moment
this morning
grateful for
this blessing
of your
precious favor.

  1. Very nice Richard. I love the colors of the bud and the green against the black background. Nice poem, enjoyed the mental break at the end of my day.

    I truly felt God's favor in that magical moment of silence.

    "This Moment" is one of my all-time favorite poems. Probably because I did feel His "precious favor". During the capture of the photographs; and again during the writing of the poem. Soon, I will post a series of my own favorite poems into one post.
