Near Perfect Day
Tender dove,
How lovely today was in spite of the fact that you weren’t here.
My room smells of summer forests and clean laundry
and after dinner and a coffee, just right — hot, sweet, creamy
I dealt with my most arduous struggle of the day — building a well fed fire in the fireplace
I spent the evening reading
whilst listening to gentle glowing crackling
and the lovely distraction of lyrican dancing shadows across my lap.
I finished reading several books, jotted some notes regarding my upcoming trip, and soaked in the leisure. So precious and sweet.
Of course I miss you, luv, but what’s a girl to do.
This is the best time of my life and an altogether lovely Sunday, through and through.
I shall sleep ever so well tonight with a grin on my lips
the caressing scent of smoke in my hair
and sweet thoughts of you.
