Tomorrow Tea Time
Apr 22, 2026 · 1 min read
I look forward to tomorrow
and look there it is
patiently awaiting it’s moment
to bask in spring sunshine
glittering wings spreading the light
a quilt new sewn
with colour matched
swatches of life
bubbling birdsong
a hedgerow sonata
chuckling happiness of water
running clear over today’s
rocky stream bed
washing clean
the sins of the father
rinsed in tomorrow’s laughter
and ever after
the promise of another
chapter and verse
of this glorious farce
a chequered tablecloth
a late afternoon tea taken
resplendently laid out
on life’s green velvet lawn
