"Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind "
Isley Brothers
.................................................................................................................
I am in a calm and reflective mood this wonderful summer morning
stretched out in comfortable and relaxed mode under the warm sunshine
sipping my refreshing fruit cocktail sheltered beneath a colorful sunshade
watching the energetic and chirpy birds, scrambling on the bird table
mourning doves, chaffinch, blue tits, hedge sparrows and wrens
performing their daily rituals of balance, poise and precision on the feeders
with the sweet and succulent aroma of jasmine pervading our back garden
I feel good within myself, realising all is well, and all options remain open
it's pleasing to know, that you can enjoy the fruits of your labours
as the grass sprinklers come alive again in spectacular show
fine mist and spray, cooling and refreshing my fevered brow
atoms of fine water turning into miraculous prisms of technicolor
as the strains of Minnie Riperton's " Loving You ," filter through in the sleepy background
I wriggle my toes with contented ease and pleasure
as a cabbage white butterfly flickers across my vision
signifying the mesmerising dance of life is both brief and intense
and you have got to catch your dreams before they all slip away
I take deep and steady breaths of sanguine content
formulating all my designated plans in my serene and tranquil mind
and as I gaze around this wondrous paradise of mine
I understand that everything that has been given
is only transitory, and was not mine from the very start
and forever I will keep humility, to anchor my sacred soul

Much better than the dark depressing ogre's cave I've been forced to hide in lately - that evil queen is everywhere!
The perfect way to start the day...

Minnie Riperton - I haven't heard that song for twenty years. Do you know that woman had a four octave range? Incredible!
Love those moments you describe here, peace is a precious gift, especially peace of mind and spirit.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
...the mesmerising dance of life is both brief and intense
and you have got to catch your dreams before they all slip away...
I think you were in the perfect place today for savouring the ones you have and you certainly created the idyllic picture for others to create a few of their own. Fabulous write!

One can only inhale...the beauty and serenity of your poetry...and exhale, recognizing Life is so good....when the truth of our souls is anchored in the understanding...that every good and perfect gift, comes down from The Father of Lights!
Enjoy your truth and sun and freedom, Brother!
Love&prayers, Rhonda
beautiful and as easy as love should always be.
