May Afternoon

a little sip of wine
out on the balcony
a balmy spring breeze
stirs lilac blooms
diffusing perfume free

enraptured in a novel
through space and time
fine line between
reality and fantasy

This one rings all the bells, Line! I love the ultra-fine, shaky demarcation line between reality and fantasy. Beautifully done. Bravo! :) gw
