Poem: Mesmerized and Captured Moments
About the Poem
Mesmerize means; “hold the attention of (someone) to the exclusion of all else or so as to transfix them”. Notice, there is not a time limit so it can be moments or who knows how long. A photo is a captured image of one’s mind in a moment. The camera near instant grasps it. Amazing!
It may be seen by another as swift as a startled bunny hopping from a shrub. Those are moments in time. Yet, at the same time faster than a shooting star thought is unleashed while touches on emotion. Mesmerized by the photo above I sought to capture those moments with poetic verse.
Mesmerized and Captured Moments
Quiet waters awakened stirred endless thought and emotion.
A moment,
Arrives mind’s frenzy scattered with reflections seeking,
A moment,
A boat asks to be filled while offers refuge from hectic pace,
A moment,
Mystically the heart beats sharing life’s boundless splendor,
A moment,
A pier asks for children’s laughter as they dive and swim,
A moment,
Strength, courage, wisdom enter new adventures, that lies ahead,
A moment,
Two friends fishing poles in hand drift without anchor seeking dinner,
A moment,
A whisper, subtle voice of nature shares today does offer discovery,
A moment,
Oars grasped with life’s gift of guidance leads onward to serenity,
A moment,
Hushed breath ask notice exuberance of time’s majestic mystery,
A moment,
Row steadily onward toward life’s gifts of hopes led by dreams,
A Moment,
Reflections upon quiet waters brings peace of mind,
A moment.
