Voyage Around A Room


Lilac
White and purple Flieder
invite you in

Pull up a chair

And join the conversation

The warm glow
of a Fazzoletto lamp

Illuminating
yellow and orange tulips

Stacks of plates and bowls
beckoning
to be filled with ambrosia

Bone china cups
sitting on the shelf,
dreaming of being filled with
fragrant teas from the Orient

A girl
in a flowerprint summer dress
standing on tiptoe,
peaking over a fence

Getting lost in a book
or ready to leave, and
endless possibilities
in between
