 the pages of my life slip quietly by
like the sun tracing an arc across the sky
from the past to the present
marveling at the texture of days as the story unfolds
each smile, each laugh, each heartache and tear
the ripples extending in reflections of the memories
one life that was changed by a singular act
a great love echos on in eternity
a simple touch, a smile, a single breath
and in that moment, I swear we were infinite

Again, LOVE! Thanks so much for sharing your soul!
Your welcome, Carri darlin’!
Mark, what I love most about your piece is how the line “and in that moment, I swear we were infinite” goes so perfectly well with the rest. It was the cherry on top and sat there as if it was home. I adore this lovely contribution. You made me sigh aloud. ♥
Thank you Kellie! Your prompts always lead me to places I might never otherwise go and that is a good thing!
How wonderful Mark! Thanks for taking time to read my own FWF contribution and nice to read yours too. I’m going to follow your site now too 🙂
Thank you so much Christy! I look forward to seeing your poetic posts!
Like the feeling of how your words reflect on the small moments that pass, and when we pause to experience it with another, it becomes something we carry with us forever.
One of those things that we truly can possess, is our experience. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I see you are getting the ping backs from catnipoflife…yea!
Yes thank you so much! I need to start doing that also for others.
