Woolgathering In the last hour of morning; Far removed From all the maddening hustle And bustle of the day. He's in a quiet place Traveling On his mind's time machine. In comfortable supine repose Gazing At the roof of the sky. A torrent of thoughts Glide in his mind Like swans on a placid stream. A tranquillity unperturbed. His sun-kissed smile curls Into a crescent moon As he conjures up A litany of pleasant memories: Falling in love for the first time With his star-crossed lover, A bouquet of forget-me-nots He gave her in surprise To make her soul fly. The soft kiss from her That aligned all the stars In his night sky. He's at home In his quiet place where His storied romance started.

Wonderfully romantic--a place to be when one is ruminating in memories of love. Much enjoyed.
