Leon V Canto 2021

first rays of sunlight,
they tickled me awake,
so I wouldn’t miss out
on the wonder,
that was about to happen.

I found myself,
laying in wet grass,
with dew drops,
bathing in the morning sunlight.

this sparkling sea of gold,
it showed me all facets of yellow,
a bright wonderland,
a place of joy & hope.

and I smiled even more,
when I noticed,
that roses & tuberoses,
were growing around my body.

but suddenly,
the spirit of the sun,
it brought back memories,
impressions from my former self,
of one specific moment in time.

I remember myself,
relaxing in a hammock,
and enjoying some peaches,
while reading my favourite literature.

and the exotic trees,
that held my hammock,
they gave away an alluring smell,
soft like a cloud,
yet unusually intense.

autumn’s last breath,
I think that was it,
a brief moment,
that showed me all the facets of yellow,
and the beautiful memories,
that were lying within.
