Majestic moments
melt in the hourglass of time
tasseled gift of gold
gleams in the jubilant hearts
the pleasures of blissful life

Friends and fragrant air
grandeur of the evening glow
girls’ breezy banter
no greater felicity
than joyous togetherness

Thanks to Colleen and Terri for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. This week’s challenge is: photo prompt.
Thanks to all the readers who have posted lovely reviews of Fusion – my latest release.

Your poem is wholly wonderful, Balroop. So filled of joy and beauty.
And togetherness.
“ no greater felicity
than joyous togetherness “.
I love it.
