Aromas Of The Soul Poem by Bonnie Collins

Aromas Of The Soul

Rating: 3.6


Did you ever stop and listen to
the rain fall, or listen to the sound
of the summers gentle wind blowing
against your window

Saturday monrnings, with the fresh aroma
of freshly cut grass, with somewhere between
the softness of the aroma of rose petels and
the welcoming aroma of yet another day

Whistle of the train at night as you try to
sleep, the comforting sound of its tracks
clainking in the darkness of night

Lavender, Lilacs, and Honeysuckles send
such an effervesence of happiness in
your heart

Summertime offers so much of natures
sounds and aromas, the night always
brings such fondness to my soul

Closing your eyes and you can recall
each aroma within the walls of your soul

Stop! And smell the roses. One of the duties of a eriter or poet is to remind us to sense the treasures of life all around us. Wonderfully and comfortably done. GW62

Bonnie, I enjoyed the walk through the flower beds of your garden and its aromas. It will be a 'joy for ever'. I share your lament. CP
