The fantasy of love


My wife was not an early riser
I could not believe my bleary eyes
For she stood there by the window

 Sun was shooing mists of night away
Chop, chop she said let's go for a walk
That thought had never crossed my mind

 My unwritten law in this home of ours
Is agree on matters such as this
Servicing the car is left to me

 We hiked to the peak above the bay
To see what we could spy this fine day
Far down below at the boating ramp

 And there beyond to those distant shores
Where fierce dragons lurked and goblins teased
Such were the silly games we played

 Morning's air was somehow fresher here
The drone of insects now abuzz
Bucks and does stood in woodland glades

 My wife was radiant as ever seen
Sun warmed up as we retraced our steps
Such a morning could not be matched

 For life's a jig-saw that is so true
Each piece important as the others
But finding love beats all the rest

    life is a jigsaw indeed...fitting all the parts, some better than others.

    And never can love be more brilliant than in such a morning walk... Love what you can find beyond the hills.

    And maybe sometimes you have to mix up the pieces to rediscover the joy of fitting it all together again

    "Such a morning could not be matched" it's so wonderful to have such precious moments in life, specially to be cherished in future..

    I loved your conclusion! Yes, of all the beautiful things in life, love discovered and lived is definitely the top of the list! Indeed, life can be an interesting 'hike' at times.

    I smiled all the way through this, especially at agreeing "in matters such as this" and servicing the car being left to you. LOL. Love the visual beauty of the place you described so beautifully and completely agree with your closing lines. You were blessed, my friend.

    Such a wise man to 'agree on matters such as this'. And those special moments together in nature do provide....

    Wow. What a great piece.
    A great testimony to love and a loved one...

    I chuckled at:
    My unwritten law in this home of ours
    Is agree on matters such as this
    Servicing the car is left to me.

    I smiled at:
    And there beyond to those distant shores
    Where fierce dragons lurked and goblins teased

    I nodded at:
    For life's a jig-saw that is so true
    Each piece important as the others



    Your lines are smoothed so well, and paced nicely.
    The whole poem flows like refreshing stream into that bay you visit.

      Am only an occasional fan of jig-saw puzzles, but love is always the best,

    Enjoyed the unwritten law 'on matters such as this'--sometimes it's good to just go with the flow and see where it takes you ;-)
