Just a Few Things That Made Up a Day

Just a Few Things That Made Up a Day

 

Although as yet, we have not

been formally

 introduced, or for that matter,

met in the flesh

so to speak .. I have occasional

dreams, in which

you feature and wherein I play

   a small supporting role ..

In the opening scene, you are

always wearing

   a brand new, white bath robe ..

With your still

damp and sun-bleached, fresh

apple scented hair,

held loose, in a cool, matching

   white towel ..

You are sitting, on an old straw

coloured rice mat

and have a bowl of fresh hand

picked cherries

nestled snugly, between your

   feet and your thighs ..

There is a pink gecko lounging

on the ceiling

and outside one of the two open

windows, a pair of

red and orange fire finches are

singing, having been

   woken and warmed by a new sun ..

I note that the sky

is still perfect and blue, as it was

yesterday at noon

while cream, bronze and salmon

chrysanthemums

each dance and wave back at me

in the very lightest of

light breezes and from a lime green

   glazed pot, on the balcony ..
