The eyes opened early today and Saturday greeted me.
"Hullo", he said.
Hey-yo, I said.
"Come walk with me this fine morning?"
Okays.
"The sun sure is blazingly bright and sunshiney today ain't it?" he said.
But I look around and the sunrise has yet to lit the awakening sky.
He pointed out to the lovely shrubs on the ground.
But I looked up and savour the ways the tree branches interrupt the skyline.
He sniffed the flowers and exclaimed how dazzling they smelt.
I took a deep breath and all I tasted was the smell on incoming rain.
"Oh look! The gardener sure has his ways with all these blooming petals"
I follow his line of sight and all I saw was the broken pottery they're rooted in.
Even the fountain where Cupid resides is dry.
He stands under the arch of vines and honeysuckles, waving in delight.
I stared at the piece of sky framed by the arch, and breathe a sigh.
He pointed out to the many lovely people in the park, holding hands talking happy
I stared and stared till everyone muted down and dissolved away.
"Shall we sit a while then?" said Saturday.
Okays
"The tide is high today isn't it?"
It has always been at this time of the day
"Indeed it is."
Hmmms
"Yours seem low though"
Indeed it is.
"Coffee or tea?"
How bout juice?
He took me home and made me juice and salad.
Pats my head and pinch a smile on my cheeks.
"There there now, my day should be a happy day now love"
Okays.
I wonder how would that turn out fine when you don't see the things I see
When you are walking beside me but pointing at a different angle
I wonder I wonder.
Maybe your angle would fill the gaps that's forming in my vision.
Perhaps perhaps
