Contentment
By Kay Cheshire
Like newfound money, I want to save
days that are quiet, where only birdsong fills
the air and faint breezes brush my hair like
a lover.
Days filled with abundance, where worry
is only a word, and pains are washed clean
by waterfalls.
I want to feel sun rays on freckled skin,
keep the moonlight shinning, rest in
an oak’s shadow while butterflies
carry away the hurt.
Those are the days I want to
reach inside my pockets
and feel them full.
Congratulations--- well done!
