moving too fast
leads to doubt
allowing no feeling
digesting
loving
all that you are
along the way
even if eyes on your words
can be a form of touch
you long for
you are precious
and grow
like a little seed in its bud
into a flower
be patient
all in good time…

thank you 😉
Be patient. Yes!
Nicely done, thingy.
difficult to do sometimes…
Slow down and enjoy. It’s hard to remember that the journey is often better than the destination. Your poem is a great reminder!
i have to remember too… this is a poem i wrote last year from the archives 😉
well defined words.
thanks for sharing.
A++
you’re welcome
lovely sensations you’ve created!
Bliss ~
thanks, take it slow…
I particularly like this one. It builds itself up from a seedling, to a bud, to a flower, and the aroma is delicious! Thank you!
all starting with a little seed 🙂
well crafted write – and I could only wish my three boys could inspire patience….
keep at them 🙂 lead by example …
