Content In Paradise

She sits content,

Grasping the orange blossom in her long slender fingers,

She sits, alone in the world around her;

Worn pages of her favorite book calling to her,

Like an old friend it beckons;

Characters leap off the pages like old friends,

Brushing her mind with familiarity all their own;

Tranquilly, she poses;

Lost in a realm of her making;

Surrounded by the sweet scent of the garden,

She lounges, the very image of solitude;

Contemplating the possibilities;

Placidly she sits…
