Whispers Of Yesteryear

Image Source

In the quiet hum of a late morning breeze

Where sunlight dances on dewy grass

Life unfolds at its own pace

A simple joy that none surpass


The crackle of a wooden floor

Echoes of relaxed footsteps softly trod

A world of no hidden expectations

Than time well spent, a path well plod


A patchwork quilt on an unmade bed 

Stories woven in every thread

Of a peaceful night, love and conversations

A tender glow, where dreams are spread


The smell of warm bread and hot coffee

Every whiff taking its own time

Deep, dark and familiar

A flavor rich, yet so sublime


The ticking clock waltzing along

Marking hours with a patient grace

Savoring every minute and second

To cherish every quiet space


A garden where wildflowers grow

Untamed and free, yet full of charm

A gentle reminder to every living soul

Nature’s gift, without alarm


Bicycle bells and chirping of birds

Flying free, no screens in sight

A bliss called solitude

Chasing shadows in pure delight


The radio marches to its own tune

Warm water baths, a dust of talcum powder

A lucky whistle from a mail van

An optimist couldn't be prouder


Home cooked meals in the porch

No orders, no paradox of choice

Tasting of comfort and love

Every bite bursting with rejoice


The sun dips low, the stars arise  

A day well lived in simple cheer

One is never too young or old

To bask in the whispers of yesteryear

  6. How beautiful... your words have such a relaxed comforting vibe - filled with moments that truly make our life feel precious. The imagery of wild flowers remind me of my own front garden which wasn't maintened in winter and now it is filled with flowers and weed alike. But there's joy in watching nature reclaim its space so effortlessly. This was a lovely read.
