Thoughts on a summer morning ...for everyone I know I miss conversation but my hearing limits me so I use words in different ways and here are my words for today
It is summer , hot and humid and rather horrid. Here early morning is the best , the air still cool , the sun seeping through my canopy of leaves, the birds seeking breakfast and some cool water to drink and I still in my nightgown let Skipper out to sniff the ground , try to see what he can find, while I gently move in my covered swing ..and thinking what a great world it is.
You must be like me . outside when you can ..allowing summer to bring its gifts .. memories to store for winters dark days and frigid air.
I mss our talks but know you are somewhere and so I send you poems to read and hopefully enjoy , take care.
I know your family and the people there are glad to have you near ..so be good to them , savor their nearness , hug them , let them enjoy being with you because it doesn’t matter how many years we have , there will always be less than we think.
Like one of Dali's watches time just slides away, and all we have is now... your friend ... anna
Flowers
The fragrance arrives before you
Tantalizing it enters
Through my breath
Stored in the labyrinths
Of my mind from times past
From warm gardens
Sunning themselves
From soft grass
From moist earth
The perfume of rain
Emanating
From streets
Sizzling on heated pavement
Wafting miniature drops
Microcosms of scents left there
Of oil and gas and things unknown
How strange all these
Come to me
Because behind me
You hold a rose
