Kitchen Island

As I sit awhile at my kitchen window And float weightless in the pond yonder What if you and I were those geese? My unmoored thoughts always wander. Basking in the sprawling lap of nature Soaking in curative warm sun’s rays Waiting and looking out for each other Turning our necks with easy natural grace Me,following keenly your step and wade Wanting nothing but your presence Enamored with the haven of your gaze Pure love-my life’s sole essence On water, land or the limitless air We could float away on our whim And when furry goslings came along We could teach them how to swim Adrift,away in my mystical island “Beep!” ,beckons broccoli in the oven rack Naked cold of granite bites me hard And once again reality snatches me back. Written 05/19/2016 for Nayda Ivette Negron's contest "Reality"

Warm congratulation. A wonderful Kitchen Island in which passionately a person live. Like Robinson in a similar place was I: while trying to make a pie, I burned it; while trying to write a poem I burned myself: while trying to make my soup, by mistake I entered the PoetrySoup.
