I walk along the water's edge on a cloudy day,
my wolf puppy next to me.
My my shoes and a boxin one hand,
I struggle to adjust my purple, satin dress.
As I move I catch a wiff of my husban's colone from his jacket.
I look at my sisters playing as the storm gathers,
walking up to the house to sit under a tree,
music drifts from inside.
gazing through the overgrowen vines on the window,
I watch my mother bake cookies.
My box sits in my lap, my shoes next to me:
tracing the black rose as I lift the lid, removing pen and paper.
I hum along to the music as I spill my feelings of the comming 'morrow on paper,
pausing now and then to gently stroke my pup.

'morrow counts. I'm glad you put that in your list that it replaced tomorrow. probably would have counted it anyway. good imagery... sounds like a peaceful day. thanks and good luck.
