A Little Slice of Eden

Sailboats on the river, Choppers in the sky, Flowers blazing color - How fortunate am I! Butterflies a'flutter, Painters en plain air, School kids freed from classrooms Being silly as they'd dare. Tourists snap some photos, Pigeons peck for crumbs, Sunshine coats the atmosphere; Anxiety succumbs. A little slice of Eden On a Wednesday afternoon And whenever I must mosey Will be much much much too soon.

I know this feeling you paint so well, Ilene. In fact I often write about those time and do ascribe to them an Eden influence. "Envy" was written about 9 years ago. I did some minor editing to it yesterday. Glad you enjoyed reading it – without envy of course! / M
