In coolness

Of night

I sit alone

With eyes

Shut tight,

 

Imagine

Submerging

In pool of

Sparkling

Cool water,

 

Palms cup

Each clear,

Sun drenched

Flickering

Ripple.

 

Beside me on

Concrete step,

A long tall flute

Of fresh orange

Juicy and sweet,

 

Ice cubes tinkle

Sides of glass

While sipping

This refreshing

Experience,

 

Savouring

Every drop,

Sensations

Dance on

My tongue,

 

Sometimes I picture

Palm trees creating

A cooling breeze,

Mixed with sounds of

Waves lapping shore,

 

As water

From fountain

Trickles through

Darkness echoing

In my imagination.

Can you dream it in the hot day-time, Jenny? Vivid description of the combination of the touch and taste of the cool drink, combined with the sounds of fountain, breeze and sea. Cooling thoughts! Rhiannon

Hi Jacques,

I don't know if you will get to read this message. I just wanted to let you know that when I said I was finding a lot of distractions, I didn't mean you. It's just we've been having difficulties at home with household appliances breaking down and our kitchen floor got flooded due to washing machine leaking water everywhere. It's been a crazy time here since the beginning of January, so I just wanted to explain.

Hope that makes sense.

You take care of yourself.

Jenny.
