Take In the Gold

Abundance is not required

to feast on life.

Bury your nose

in one blossom,

take in its golden scent with one

full breath, then turn

your eyes slowly

to a single 

peach lying in an empty bowl

and once again

take in the gold

through open eyes.

    Beautiful, Joan. I am able to see just the shade of gold, just the nuance injected by light as I read this.
