A Fistful of Minutes

"a breezy yet comfortable autumn day...ah, so lovely!" - quote by poet.


   his eyes flutter shut a fistful of minutes, 
    a much welcome respite into himself. 
 he sits in the shadow of a jacaranda tree.
 as he listens to the mutters of dry foliage, 
  a lone nightingale - nature's crown jewel -
cheerfully tweets sonorous melodies for him; 
      it's as if he's entered heaven's gate.
