flowers near the window
in bright yellow

a filmy white curtain
swaying in the breeze

late afternoon sunshine
bouncing off walls

a tea pot steaming 
a tea cup empty

a book lying open
on a vintage bed 

colour glass vases
sparkling in the sun

a tranquil silence
fills the space

photographs
on dresser

purple walls
need paint
