City sunrise


Midsummer and the sun rose over the city
My wife was still sleeping and all was calm
Slowly I eased myself out of bed
Looked at the quiet street below
A cleaning truck had just passed
Traffic lights changed for ghosts
A cat crossed over
Murmur in bed
"Are you coming back?''
"Tea or coffee?" I asked
"No, just give me a cuddle"
So I then threw back the top sheet
And wrapped her up in my strong arms
She really is a beautiful woman
It's wise to do things before the heat sets in

    Unless one has air conditioning! I like this glimpse into your love life Robin. I especially like: She really is a beautiful woman. It says a lot about you.

    When you wrote daybreak at midsummer I would go straight back to bed... 3 AM is made for sleep.

    That's both a pleasant and a practical wisdom.

    Opportunity comes but at odd times. It happens that way to good people!

    That's a great way to describe a street early in the morning, Robin: 'Traffic lights changed for ghosts'. And you're so right, 'It's wise to do things before the heat sets in'.

    I am so looking forward to a heatwave. Not that it is cold but summer cannot arrive soon enough.

    Such warmth makes me think the flames of love are already pretty hot.
