Tim Smith Poet Free verse

The Perfect Day

Mist rises from the valley floor

Sunshine peeks over the mountain top

silhouetting the Coopers Hawk
  
soaring in the southern breeze

I sit in my old oak rocking chair

drinking my dark black coffee taking it all in.

Mornings don't get any finer

I am one

one with nature.

The smell of flapjacks fill the air

Then out walks you

my heart skips a beat

as you smile 

brighter than the clear blue stream

blending in beautifully 

with the azure sky

your caramelized eyes glisten

each time you glance my way

I can't help but smile

for this is the perfect day
