These Are Things I Prize
"These Are Things I Prize" is a short poem that gathers life's simplest treasures into a single grateful breath. A speaker names what he holds dearest: sapphire skies, silent hills, the shelter of forests, birdsong, murmuring rills and the smell of flowers after rain. Each image is small and sensory, yet the poem builds toward a quiet turn, where friendship and mirth are named best of all. It closes with a wish to own these gifts through love alone.
