Sipping Pims { Gold }

Beauty of this day

where the sun painted it's Summer warmth,

blossoms upon Oak,

illuminating aura,

soft whispers in breeze.

 

On lawn, friends did mingle,

tabled white where the wine flows

and conversation of laughter flourished.

 

Colonial house we made our home

old wheel of history

once drawn the wagons horse

brought us so much happiness and luck.

 

Where children ran, and played on the rope swing

and hid in the 'treehouse'

we would search for hours..

 

Sun setting turning dusk

auburn skies burnished amber

hues in the mist

in night dew crystals

twinkled like a diamond

solitaire in ring.

 

Mesh screen kept the mosquito's away,

as we sat together

reminiscing..

sipping pims.

    Introduced me to a time and habits I didn't know- but wish I could've been there. Something about white tablecloths, isn't there? Thank you so much!

    this felt like a dream. I strange dream where I could feeel and see and taste the very air of their complete absorption of one another, and the painful separation of the two, as it seems there's no option.
    So well rounded, I am in essence, heartbroken for them
    Best wishes,
    jin
