BASKING IN THE SUNSHINE IS A DREAM


BASKING IN THE SUNSHINE IS A DREAM

Empty road
Lined with laburnum
Ashes from a burnt out fire
Exude a fragrance of an era
An era not etched anywhere on the wheels of time
A tiny ember still ignited
Lies next to a milestone
Seven skies apart is a dream
Hazy in the winter fog
Nested in the niche of her heart
Buried
Treasured
Cherished
She remembers the promise of the summer sun
And smiles at the thought
That suddenly leapt out of the portals of her dream
the laburnum seeds will burst out
into a golden glory
and will bask in lazy sunshine
