This morning’s sun filled my heart with song
burning everywhere like drops of molten metal
like golden toffees shining with an inner light
spreading joy in a fairyland of burnished beauty
against the backdropp of a soft blue sky
the most enchanting setting anywhere
- last night as I lay in bed I saw the
sunshine in my mind; you were snoring softly
after watching a program about hyena babies
when we laughed again about the time you
touched hyena’s noses and you wished
again to have your own hyena cub -
threatening to bring him to bed, just like
you did with your favourite German Shepherd,
I said I shall have to wear protective clothing –
rugby gear to protect my ears - you really
have a magnetism that attracts all animals,
specifically wild ones - maybe that is why
children adore you - with these thoughts
running through my head in the
lovely sunshine, I park my mind
in Paradise before jumping into
the fray of the duties of today….
