The Ambiance

In chilly sensation held
Wrapped within warm quilt
I could almost feel my balmy
Breath condense through the 
Air
With the odor of my favorite
Scents swarming through my
Hair
I sit with passion, my divan positioned
My posture upright, my thoughts
Engaged
My room lit just right
My table perfectly placed
I focus, I think
I stare

Glasses on, books on the 
Right pages… pens, pencils, 
Some papers to solve upon
Then tear…

Beautiful writing inviting us into your world and reflecting your title with the skill of a master, farah. I've been away for awhile with more than just a tear ... more like gut wrenching sobs for my dog now gone to the dog angels ... sad. Imagine you are busy with studies but I am so glad you still post here at the Soup. Much love ...
