Afternoon Sun

Afternoon Sun

of a winter month,

light breeze

through bougainvillea fence,

A marigold

by my side

and a good book

in my hand.

Sitting under

the guava tree,

Fresh, cold grass

under my feet,

Suddenly a squirrel

chirped in our lawn,

I lifted my head

but it was gone,

I stared into nothing

and smiled

and realized

how lovely ..

all this is :)
