of stretching wide
over not quite so crisp sheets
and feeling the sun
gently tugging on my eyelashes,
completely unbothered
by thoughts
of what comes next.

Such mornings are to be treasured!
ReplyDeletethe sun gently tugging on eyelashes....nice image !.....Rall
ReplyDeleteLove the eyelash tug and big stretch. :)
ReplyDeleteYou got it, Lady. The nice warm sun and sunshine coming in from the window do a lot for one just waking up. Now, sitting in a chair and the sunshine moves around for your turn, not so good. We'll get up and move the chair back in the shaded area.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting. I'm off to find, on my blog, my recipe for "Jim's Quick and Easy Stuffed Peppers."

Well Ms. Rommy ... this must be the perfect description of 'awakening.' I love and can feel every word. Big stretch now.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful, yes!
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful This gives me a sense of freedom
ReplyDeleteAah! Every morning should be like that :)
ReplyDeleteYou share that one with Jean Kerr...
ReplyDelete"Dearer to me than the evening star,
A Packard car, a Hershey bar,
Or a bride in her rich adorning,
Dearer than any of these by far
Is to lie in bed in the morning."
(I share it too--why else would I have memorized that poem? In grade three, yet.)
I envy this scene. So serene and relaxing. We do need sedentary pace in life to enjoy every moment
ReplyDeleteLove the eyelashes and that luxurious stretch!
ReplyDeleteWonderfully calming words you have inked here. I definitely needed that. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a good morning stretch! The luxuriously lazy feeling seems well earned.
ReplyDeleteI thought I commented, second guessing myself but I have to say nothing feels better than a luxusiously lazy morning stretch!
