A day of Dreaming
The sun has climbed the hill The day is on the downward slope of the day, She throws the keys into the dish Takes off her shoes and pads into her bedroom Takes of her public clothes and face Takes her hair out f its confines, runs her hands through it Easing the tension, she sighs Her bed looks so inviting, but no not yet She pads out into the kitchen puts on the kettle takes down her favorite mug, it is huge Opens up the tin of freshly ground coffee...oh god the aroma A smile on her face, she get two of her first attempt at Greek short breads Her coffee is made her biscuits on a plate, and hell why not, she has some of her passion fruit butter she put a small dab on the plate, shrugs her shoulder and adds a large dollop she opens the side door and slips out onto the veranda there is a full moon, her garden full of herbs smells so wonderful She sits on the cane lounge pulling up the blanket The night is fresh and chilly, she takes a sip of the coffee sighs a deep contented sigh, dips the biscuit into the passion-fruit cream Closes her eyes and savors the taste
Yes it is time, Definitely it is her time it is her time for dreaming it is her time to remember it is her time to reminisce.... Yes it was her time, for sometime during the night, It was time for the Angel of death to come, She took his hand willingly all the pain, all the suffering fell from her face Once more she was young and attractive
Sadly it was her and cousin Who found her she had not answered Their many calls to her, Tear welled up in their eyes She looked like she had before the Big C Had entered her life
She sat in her favorite chair In the middle of her beloved garden Her book of<b> poems </font></b>opened her latest one completed, the pen on the floor, Her mug of coffee still On the table half drunk Her biscuit nibbled on Her eyes were closed Her face wore an enchanting smile On her face, almost whimsical as If she finally saw the funny side
