Quiet days.
Today for instance.
It's the last day of our vacation
( why can't they last for ever?)
I feel as though I want to cram ALL the things
I love doing into this day,
cooking, reading, sewing,
surfing the net~
but time constraints
sit heavily on my shoulders.
Last night we closed the curtains
against the dark light and watched this sweet movie.
It reminded us of Verona ( my favourite place on earth at present)
and my heart longed for Italy
all over again.
Watching the clock now reminds me of
the fact that I'll have to get my uniform ready,
make lunches
and tidy up.
All routine tasks that a million people around the world do,
every day.
The thoughts of them
are rattling around the attic like a rather sad ghost.
Really,
I want it to be a quiet day.
Where a lake that I looked over for a whole week
made me feel like the sea would bloom,
forever.
Oh, I want to see that film! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that your holidays have come to an end :( I can so relate to today's post. Well I'm looking forward to starting work, I'm sad that I will have less time. Like you, I wish they could last forever. You listed all the things I like to cram into my holidays too!
