there are moments
when the world sighs
and the winds change
altering
us forever
love, death, birth
new worlds
knocking at our door
unfamiliar in our hearts
redefining
reshaping
we open
our arms wide
and embrace
and invite
everything to change
and then
there are
the small moments
that go unnoticed
with a passing whisper
a kiss goodbye, a wave, a touch
a summer sunset
that weave our days
when the world sighs
and the winds change
altering
us forever
love, death, birth
new worlds
knocking at our door
unfamiliar in our hearts
redefining
reshaping
we open
our arms wide
and embrace
and invite
everything to change
and then
there are
the small moments
that go unnoticed
with a passing whisper
a kiss goodbye, a wave, a touch
a summer sunset
that weave our days
into a tapestry of routine
filling us up
to reach out for
another day

Sorry my friends, I have been a slacker this week on blogging.
Sometimes it's nice to take a break.
And just be.
And enjoy.
Hope you are doing the same.

I did it again sorry ..reena!!
How absolutely wonderful that you can take a break in such a fabulous place! We haven't seen a sunset here for two days because of the rain and wind. ;-) Not good this time of year when we should be getting snow! What a terrific capture! (As always, I love your poetry, too.)
Wow! Awesome shot!
A gorgeous picture, and you wrote these words? You are really a poet!!! I need a break, also..I need a system so I can have some time to do things like clean the house, and to just be!!
Lovely post....
Such poetic words to go with this gorgeous shot!
Truly beautiful image and thought.
Breaks are good, we all need them
and it seems this is a perfect time to take one.
May the new year bring you good health and much happiness!
Lovely, lovely sunset Reena and lovely thoughts as well.
I too took a bit of a break.
Really connected with these words... This last year brought to mind all that you wrote.
