the beam came through the window
and laid itself on the corner of the carpet
without a word it beckoned my being
arriving like a god-send into the crisp
of winter air, snow flurries, and
sporadic overcast sky
winter days always chilled my hands
and cheeks, stiffened joints, and
achy knees
I sat
on the floor upon the carpet
where the sunbeam lay
and felt its ray wide and warm
gently laying me back
to fully embrace its comfort
I readily surrendered
and dreamt
of a warm sandy beach
gloriously serene
a gentle breeze, clear sky
I hear young ones
playing in the surf
they are talking to dolphins
then a gull flies over and i
comprehend what it says
I’m happy
opening my eyes
the sun beam has moved
working its way
through the windows
and across the room
seemingly settling
upon your shoulders
and casting an aura glow
about your crown
you look good in the light
comfortably soothing
to my soul
on the floor
I stretch then roll
closer to your direction
