An Orange Glow Filled Sky Crackling Energy

Fields on hills a patchwork of colour Green gold rice barley prairies
The sun filtering through the lace curtains danced  on  the  tabletop
The cats  unblinking yellow eyes exuded  an air of quiet confidence
Square cut emerald ring perfectly bobbed red hair Table untouched
Spanish shawl embroidered in red blue+gold Freshly  baked cakes
Incredible dishes  innovative  old receipes delightful establishment
Lavender, rose, aromatic coffee, talcum powder with a hint of lemon
The Chef tradition of  long robes High headwear and  flowing habits
Overhead speakers piped the singing of the sacred maidens songs
Wavy  greying hair   Family  of  baby  ducklings   Dying  mans wishes
The air moist and heavy with sweet living scents of  the  woody forest
Lions leopards diamond pythons toucans cooed sidled and preened
