Today is the day of rest.
The Sunday repose.
But we shall be busy
my lover and I.
We shall cook together
a gourmet meal
of music and romance.
lie outside in the
shade of a linden tree
spread out on blankets
drinking the heady nectar's
ot the summer wine.
We shall eat too much
drink thirstily of the wine.
to fulfill our spirits
need for rebirth and tranquility.
The songs we will sing
to natures soft anthems
will be sweet and gentle.
When we return
Renewed and new
to our home.
The evening shadows
will fold over our
nestled entangled bodies
as we are centered and fulfilled
once more.
