a perfect day

on a perfect day,
in a perfect world.

clouds would gather white and grey
waves would roll high and
mighty, then crash the shore with raging beauty

old men on bikes would
peddle past, then leave
their wheels on gable ends
a mountain side lake would hold one lonely lily

gulls would glide, past
mountain sides, with wings spread wide in
perfect shape

doe eyed donkeys would
walk in ruins

the sun would throw daggers from rain darkened clouds

grass riddled roads would
lead to the sea, where
clinker built boats would
guard hidden harbours

a pair of white swans would flirt in dark waters

perfect wild roses would wait by the road side, and
sad easter lillies would gather to mourn

and on this perfect day
in this perfect world, I would be alone
