All

All that there is
the wind in the chimney
my feet in my slippers
all that there is
darkness settling
round the shoulders of night
all that there is
the last but one song I heard
the taste of peppermint tea
all that there is
my hands
my chair
the ticking clock
my heart

I love this one even more.

Marcheline said...

I feel this way sometimes, and then something happens to remind me that there really is so much more, too...

Fire Bird said...

oh, interesting M, I see this as a kind of heightened awareness of the moment - a kind of bliss. All I need is here now...

Reading the Signs said...

lovely, and you know what: I don't think you even need the repeating 'all that there is' lines. Begin or end with it? (oh - oh, shut up, me!)

Signs - no, you may be right - it was very first draft... Never shut up, I really value your poetry feedback. Truly.
