Impressionist

dipping deeply knocking hollow
drifting softly rushes rich
watching darting of a swallow
handmade cuddles careful stitch

bevelled surface chipped and whittled
beeswax shimmer candle flame
crunchy cornflakes heavy handle
ageless timeless artful stain

dappled sunny warmly covered
chickens scratching under boughs
nettles nestled bunches coolness
picnic blanket marriage vows

secret chamber thinly veiled
lovely lightness playful touch
fragrant floral taken nailed
oh my god it's all too much

impressions of a life well lived
body mind well used
the marring of a precious gift
with memories infused
