Lemon Scent

Sitting here, waiting for a clearing breeze , 
in my forest of endless trees, 
and responsibilities.  
It never came, the restless surge,
from deep within, the stormy siege
that blows the top off Carpe Diem.

A cup of tea and a magazine,
the traces of her lemon scent,
that rises aromatically.
I never thought to look for that,
Within my maze of discontent,
A kind of serendipity. 

The little things, that’s what I meant
Like the traces of her lemon scent.
