seeds dropped.
One on a winter evening
when it had the indecency
to rain instead of snow.
One on a summer afternoon
when sunshine pulled out
everyone from inside the house.
Why go out
and expose flesh
to numbing rain
for just dinner and a movie
when there’s a perfectly good bed?
Why stay inside
a stifling room
when a breeze from the bay
feels so good on skin
when there’s a perfectly good bed?
Why stay inside
a stifling room
when a breeze from the bay
feels so good on skin
on skin in the shade?
One winter day. One summer day.
The company was more than fine.
Perhaps we should have been a little less surprised
at how life (and love) grows in welcoming spaces
despite the whims of the weather.

Staying in bed is a lovely option

Indeed
DeleteLife (and love) well nurtured can, indeed, birth the most wonderful of surprises.
ReplyDeleteMost assuredly
DeleteI loved the hidden messages in your wonderful poem --- at least I thought they were hidden!
ReplyDeleteLOL, as hidden as two lovers intent on leaving the world behind can be!
DeleteYes. It's like that - out of the blue or the white.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly can be
DeleteWe are all so different as to what pleases us the most. Now if only married couples could have the same thoughts that would be a bonus!
ReplyDeleteLOL, my husband and I find our thoughts often aligned on these matters.
DeleteHappy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe.
Much❤love
Hope your Sunday was lovely.
Deleteyes, the hidden messages in the poem. the whims of the weather are no barrier. :)
ReplyDeleteNo barrier indeed! :D
DeleteWe have been fairly well trained to keep in tune with the weather with our outings, you told it nicely. You said, "just dinner and a movie" I say, "when I have crackers and peanut butter, sometimes even liverwurst."
ReplyDelete..
My husband and I have made impromptu picnics in our living room of Trader Joe's dumplings and whatever leftovers are in the fridge.
DeleteSometimes those who brave inclement weather end up being pleasantly surprised.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's a pleasant one, that's all that counts :D
DeleteGreat moments!
ReplyDeleteWhether the weather is favourable or unfavourable, it matters not, we should go ahead to our destination. Nice.
