Notes About The Poem
NOTE: I had found a stunning picture of a table overlooking the sea up on a hill (like an outdoor cafe table) with beautiful flowered bushes in the foreground and the town, sky and water in the background. I based my poem around this, with the intent to show the picture. Now no matter how many times I try, I simply cannot find that same picture among beautiful summer images on google! So you will just have to imagine it.
Into the Blue
I sit
at a small table
outside a café.
Along a low
orange wall,
rows and rows
of flowered bushes
decorate
the foreground of
a breathtaking scene.
Out to
a horizon
where sea meets sky
is endless blue.
I inhale
perfect beauty!
Fine wine and good food
are on the way.
Here in the sun
I will revel in
the fragrance of
the red roses
and the freshness
of the air.
A butterfly
alights nearby me.
How simple a thing
yet how divine.
Fly, Butterfly -
Fly out to the bay!
I wish to see
how long I may
keep you
In my sight
before you vanish
into the blue.
