Serendipity.osi

'Serendipity'

Café conversations
Day to day contemplations

See?
See through
The insinuations of colors
Hear the bossa nova
Of the giggles
Changing step
With the aromas
Dancin’ around

Try
to Feel
The inexplicable touch
Of warmth and tenderness
(alluded to as life)
Cradled
In the palms
Of affinity

Willingly
One
Sips the brew
This ink
Never dries
I savor
The yummy taste
Of someone’s poem

Looking for expressions
I find life..

  8. I loved this! I especially enjoyed 'Hear the bossa nova
    Of the giggles
    Changing step'

    It reminds me that we can join in and be a part of life, or just sit on the side lines and be mere observers! I choose to dance as often and possible!
