The momentYou choose to
Breathe the air
As it carries
The scents of flowers
Past cheeks
Past cheeks
Feel the grass
Between your toes
The sun on your face
Sharing time
With the ones you love
Listening to their laughter
Watching them smile
Happiness Stretching out
Like a new day
Dawning
Moments matter

55 words of sheer bliss.. Stop and enjoy the moment! You are the second blogger to give me this message back-to back, today! A little more than co-incidence this!
Couldn't agree more! Savour every moment - in however many words it takes...
moments do matter.
a beautiful write...
i almost forgot it was a 55, beacuase it was so much more.
Beautiful words. Moments are all we have and they are to precious to waste. I love the butterfly picture. It's just amazing.
lovely capture of moments that shall be remembered and recalled.
well cooked 55.
I enjoy the maturity.
oh yes - moments do matter - and even more if they are so beautiful like the one you describe with such lovely words..
Beautiful piece. I should post this on my fridge for daily viewing. Very inspiring. My 55 is HERE .
What a cheerful, summery 55! I like it!
You've painted the perfect moment there! :)
A beautiful reminder to celebrate each and every moment that is today. Lovely 55!
moments might be all that matters, as long as we use them to smell the flowers, listen to our hearts, interact with what shows up in our here-now worlds - your poem illustrates this well. awesome butterfly pic!
They certainly do!
You said it beautifully.
What a beautiful 55. Moments are all we have.
Mine's (55) Fifteen is far too young . . .

Thanks for your lovely comment. Enjoy your trip, and remember to bring back plenty of white sage, pine cones to scent your home.

Oh, I too wondered it if was you, standing still. It's cool to have a visual of her doing that in the context of your flash 55. Nicely done.
