Tomorrow Tea Time

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
