A Wink Of An Eye Poem by Juan Olivarez

A wink of an eye,
A kiss blown on the wind.
Clouds above in the sky,
A heart on the mend.

Birds singing in a tree,
The full moon so bright,
A heart will set free,
What a measure of delight.

A soft gentle breeze,
The rain on your face.
Will give your heart ease,
All the rest of your days.

A hug that's so tight,
The laugh of a child.
The sun's early light,
Through the window, so mild.

The leaves slowly turning,
To colors of red.
Your tired legs yearning,
For your little old bed.

A smile on the street,
A beautiful song.
Freshly picked sugar beets,
That you have grown.

The ringing of the church bell,
On a sunday morn.
Fresh water from a well,
The cries of the newborn.

The simplest of pleasures,
Are always the best.
A whole world of treasures,
To outshine the rest.
