waiting for first coat to dry
pegging out clothes on the line
ivory tint in ponytailed hair
clotted cream scones tasting fine
pen and a coffee at hand
doodling flowers in the sun
soda and lime and ink on a page
ecstatic that summer has come
music chosen by kids
buddha sat under tree
lotused repose in semi-closed eyes
replete and contented like me
windows of soul opened wide
faint breeze to filter on through
leaves of green gratitude canopies all
wishing the same for all you
