there’s a picture inside her,
her mind, really
an arm gathering her close
a chuckle and nod,
seen outside the corner
of her hazel eye.
mature trees outline
what is before them
sounds of babbling water
fill her head,
smells of lilac
purple, not white
adorn her radiant skin
as the sun’s final kiss
winks just then.
barefoot beauty,
bit of dust upon her toes
boots next to hers
days work shows,
smells of the day
draw her in…
focus takes over
and she’s back
in her office again

Hang onto those dreams, ma’am — ’tis next to impossible to realize a dream if you don’t *live* it!

The pressure of living it. I do so much better with someone beside me. I’ve always been a terrified one. Although, it feels pretty fantastic when I achieve something all on my own. Thank you, Debbie

Sometimes the only thing that makes work bearable is being able to daydream about something wonderful, far away from work. This poem captures the feeling perfectly.

All too correct, you know. Sadly, I’ve met trees I’ve enjoyed far more than some people.

Reminds me of the years I worked in an office….longing to be outside in the weather with nature… glancing as often as possible out the window. This is a lovely daydream, Audrey.
