The Perfect Day -- Alice N. Persons

(Poem #206)The Perfect Day
 You wake with
 no aches
 in the arms
 of your beloved
 to the smell of fresh coffee
 you eat a giant breakfast
 with no thought
 of carbs
 there is time to read
 with a purring cat on your lap
 later you walk by the ocean
 with your dog
 on this cut crystal day
 your favorite music and the sun
 fill the house
 a short delicious nap
 under a fleece throw
 comes later
 and the phone doesn't ring
 at dusk you roast a chicken,
 bake bread, make an exquisite
 chocolate cake
 for some friends
 you've been missing
 someone brings you an 
 unexpected present
 and the wine is just right with the food
 after a wonderful party
 you sink into sleep
 in a clean nightgown
 in fresh sheets
 your sweetheart doesn't snore
 and in your dreams 
 an old piece of sadness
 lifts away
-- Alice N. Persons
