I've stood upon a beach
At dawn
Felt sand at my feet
And marvelled
At the stars overhead, infinite
I've stood atop a forest
In the morn
Breathed in the wooden smells
And gaped
At life's myriad battles, unending
I've stood by a river
At noon
Toes buried in the loam
And stared
At ripples over the water, ephemeral
I've stood on busy streets
In the afternoon
With sweat on my brow
And wondered
At the bustling people, uncounted
I've stood by towers mighty
In the evening
Hands in empty pockets
And goggled
At ambition that blocks the sky, unchained
I've stood by my beloved, fast asleep,
In the middle of night
The world a mere whisper at my ear
And felt awed
By the promise of love, unconditional
I sit now and ponder
About the times I've seen
A smile on my lips, and a tear in my eye
And am overcome
By this heady mix, of moments...
