Vancouver Morning

---- for Sandra

I'm drunk with sunshine today.
It's one of those perfect days
in Vancouver - nothing can go wrong.
The birds are on the wire
outside my apartment window
singing to only me. My pillow
has cradled my head all night
like a gentle lover and has
whispered softly to me in my
dreams, the ones before and
after the dreams I have of you,
that tonight will be restful
and the day will be bright
and incandescent and the sun
will smile upon me and hold
me in its luminous arms as I walk
in the park. You should be here
with me, sharing in the solar hug
and holding my hand as we walk
to the beach and watch the soaring
seagulls sing their hungry tunes
and dive onto the soft sand
like arrows from the clouds
feeding, feeding until they are
satisfied, like spent lovers
on a bright Sunday morning.

5. What a perfect series of images!

I've been to Vancouver, and it is indeed a gorgeous city!

Although I didn't experience it through the eyes of a new lover......

Still, this is a lovely poem, esp. for the first day of Spring!

Thank you, my dear RetroLounge.....
