Through the cotton curtains blows a breeze that can only be described as "delicious".
A dry, Summer day; sun and breeze;
The claw foot tub full of warm soapy water;
Cowboy boots lay askew near the closet and denim hangs over the chair.
As the warm water washes over the troubles of the day,
Cool, delicious breezes blow through white cafe curtains.
Relaxed, with a book laying nearby;
while a lavender candle wafts its scent through the tiny room.
Bubbles pop and gather round, drinking in the added spice of rosemary and tea tree.
With head rested on a towel and eyes drooping,
sleep comes softly, then weighs heavily over the body.
Waking to the sound of a robin beneath the window,
The cooling water calls, "warm me!"
With the flip of a lever the tub begins to drain, then--
"why not?"
On comes the faucet, refilling the bath with its hot, liquid rest.
Another hour, just one more;
While the cool, delicious breezes blow through white cafe curtains.
I wish this was a description of my afternoon, but it's simply something that I dreamed up while in my mother's bathroom the other day. We have been experiencing some dry, sunny and cool days here, and truly the breeze was "delicious" on Thursday and Friday.
Darling Hill is a quiet place with a narrow, welcoming lane. The view from the top is breathtaking and its vistas change many times throughout a day. I hope that you can visit often and enjoy it as much as my dear Husband, family and I do. God has allowed Syd and I to sojourn here until He leads us on to another place of service or until He takes us Home to Heaven. The little cabin He has provided sits alongside Darling Hill Road, nestled in, on a northwest corner.
I love your poem ! VERY soon your dream will come true I'm sure !! In your very own bathroom ! Hope your waterman finds LOTS of water in his digging !
