Shoveling Dreams

 

A beautiful secluded beach

of palm tree shadows

and warm water longings

in aquamarine reflections

 

The sweet taste of

strawberry daquiries on your lips

as soothing waves harmonize

with cool dune swept breezes

 

A bright sun caresses our skin

as perspiration mingles

with glistening lotioned desires,

lazily watching the day slip away

 

Smooth white pristine pathways show

footprints mirroring rhythmic heartbeats

when love heats up even the coldest of seasons

as I daydream...

 

It is amazing where the mind can go,

when you are outside shoveling snow

Oooft! I loved this one, Will. This is a magical piece indeed, I can relate to this one, however, I love shovelling snow, putting on some music, wrapping up and have some fun! :)

Happy this one took you on that journey. Thanks so very much.

One reason, am so glad, I live, in an apartment, now. Can remember, those old days, as a teenager, having to clear the family driveway and sidewalks. Often, would daydream, of being rich, and hiring someone else, to do this, for me. Just hope, you have a light year, for snow shoveling.

Thanks so much Therisa. Somedays it is fun and somedays not so much.

Your welcome. Will. Especially, on those days, when you face a driveway filled with heavy wet snow.

Sign me up for THAT daydream anytime!
Shoveling snow is no fun, a little daydream helps the time pass a wee bit faster.
Love it.

Thanks so much Ana. I'll put your name down for the next one.

A nice bit of escapism described here Will. An expressive piece with the flavours and 'textures' of warmth. I am not shovelling snow but still I am yearning for the return of the sun.

Thanks so much John. Good thing, shoveling snow is no fun at all.

Better than "I hate this crap, my toes are freezing, and what is that pain in my chest."

Thanks so much KLGoode. I'll fix that right away. Sheesh.

Maybe I should have said sweat...I know how to spell that. :)
