Vision

Vision
A zephyr with 
breaths of April after rain
whispered: 
   “sleep not this summer day.”
He stirred, woke up 
and saw a heavenly face
eyes blue as the sky
and the skin of the apparition 
had the hue of 
un-profaned lips
only the newly born possess.
He smiled reached out
to touch the divine being,
but it had disappeared in a miasma
of the everlasting,
but leaving behind a hope as sweet
scent of jasmine.

Dear Jan - It was wonderful being lured to shangri-la and then stung by the wasp, "miasma" How you burst the bubble in gorgeous saccharine is the mark of your lovely imagination and humor which keeps me coming back for more. I'll hate it if I read this wrong. love, Kathy
