Description: I read a book called "Tuesdays with Morrie". And then I read a review about it. The book was great but the the review was what inspired the title. The reviewer mentioned how he found his life's goal after reading the book - that is, to find one moment of perfection in every ordinary day that makes living worthwhile. Thank you Mr Reviewer.
Moment of Perfection -------------------------------------------
Homeward bound
One weary step in front of another
Dragging behind fragments of shattered hope
Gloom clouded his countenance.
He chanced to look up
A beautiful night. Sky clear and infinite.
Stars twinkling. Moon full and white.
Silhouetted before the orb was a tree
Barren... but not quite
Young leaves had emerged - merging with the light.
All else forgotten
He stood savouring the moment of perfection
Making a memory he would use often-time
Gloom was cast aside
And shelved dreams brought back to life.
Hey Judy,
This sounds so peaceful and leaves that contented feel'n when one reads it. I thought this was a very nice little poem amd enjoyable to read.
!doc'
i like the imagery and the pictures you create to your reader with "barren... but not quite"... very nice flow... excellent work without traditional rhyme scheme, but the flow was still there... nothing negative flooded your message... nice job
