far flung friday: day dreamin

she turned the handle

lifted her face

and let the last few drops

rain down upon her lips.

padding softly into her room…

towel a forgotten heap upon the floor

she gravitated towards the light.

standing in a sunbeam
softly slicing its way across the room

she paused and

purred
as the gentle warmth spread all the way down

 to her perfectly painted toes.

in that instant

the pure potential of the day took her breath away....

a juicy peach

bright red lipstick

music floating down from a third story window

stolen kisses on a park bench

colored boats upon a lake, a farmers market

copper wishes tossed into fountains,

breezes

ice tea in a garden and lunch in a park,

laughter

tangerine sunsets

breathtaking sights

soft clean sheets

you.

...she slid the dress over her head,

smiled as she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror….

and with her heart beating just a little bit faster

skipped quietly out the door.

no matter where you are…live deeply.
