Dedicated to a good friend who was unwell when I wrote this poem. Happy to say he made a full recouvery , and is very happy with life.




LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW

With his cup of comfort, looking out the window,

He beholds sight the pretty flowers, waving to him,

Their petals inviting the lad out to join them outside,

The trees heavy in blossom, promising a fruitful Autumn

On the cool Summer breeze a message:

''We know you can't yet come out and be with us ''

  '' Don't worry '' '' We'll still be here when you can be here with us''

''We send to you our scent to your senses''

The trees say '' soon you can rest under our branches shading you''

''Comfy mug in your hand'', '' And your poetry to write''

He hears, listens, smiles, raises his mug of coffee to them,

''Aye'' , ''my friends '' ,'' soon ''.

cup of comfort.... did not know they served alcoholic beverages in hospitals? kidding, ha.

glad to hear that your friend recovered, and i enjoyed your description of the scenic view from your friend's window.

Soup in the Sand
The peace and coy breath of the healing comfort of nature, all the beauty of life, abiding in wait. This poem has such a depth of feeling indeed, brings forth great emotion, reading those words, gazing out that window, heady with the smell of coffee, knowing...the beauty nature awaits, the sweet kiss of spring dances through the window and lets me know that I will be restored, too, as the spring leaves on those whispering trees. Fantastic!

Sharing a spring-time morning or day with someone who is a little ill, can surely heal the sick, and mend the mind of those who have spent too many months inside the winter's trap.

Smoothly written, and a delight as always, Ken... Thank you for sharing...
