just before noon pages 8.8.09

Thanks to the noon day sun

and breeze gently fluttering

and the dogs settling

and pacing

and my mother and father

up north

and friends and family everywhere

and my fiancee still sleeping

sweetly upstairs

and the overly milky cup of tea

I am sipping

it is no great adventure

but it is a peaceful interlude

in the present moment

that does not push or pull

away like a leaf

just resting on the lazy current

of a sun speckled stream

row row row your boat

gently down the stream merrily

merrily merrily

life is but a dream

so taken in a small snapshot

before the gusts of business stir

this tranquil saturday
