The scent of lilies,
white, subtle, unfurling
The chance to revive
childhood memories
‘Cuckoo, Cuckoo’
…
A pot furiously bubbling
on the stove
The long stem of
a crystal glass swirling with
warmth, laughter, passion
Bergamot scented
clean, crisp washing
Cool and smooth
white sheets
…
Reclining on a rope swing
with a small body tucked
close to mine
The flapping of artwork
whenever the
cold door opens
Two superheroes
receding into the distance to
save the day
…
Happiness can be found
anywhere
everywhere

Thank you so much, Emma. Once again, you’ve captured my senses and imagination. Beautiful! I need to go find a swing.
Swings are incredible for changing perspective, hey? I think I enjoy them more than my kids at times!
I just want to sit here and soak in these words for awhile. So peaceful.
