My Mid Winter Orange Travels

The blooming luster of citrus oil upon my pine cabinets, tantalizes my senses and I am transported to the tropics, escaping midwinter’s clutches. The sun-kissed, sterling baubles adorning each rolling wave’s crest, are pearlesque raindrops dancing upon the eternal sands; tiny cantaloupe balls for a sand-crab’s weekend party. A golden-orange sky-orb hangs above the crystalline waters of the Atlantic; a tangerine, popcorn ball for the angels to share. I watch the cloud-angels gather overhead; Raphaelite puffs swarm the carrot-colored skies; a gathering of sacred rites, that I am privileged to witness.

I loved everything about this, M.L. Reminds me of a modern version of Blake's "To see a world in a grain of sand..." I also look at things and transport myself in my mind to beautiful places (sometimes I will go to them for real). I want an invite to the sand crab's party. I'll bring the cantaloupe. You coming?
