The breakfast coffee has been forgotten<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0But it remains on the green tile table<\/p>\n
\n
Cold and still in the white sunlight<\/p>\n
\n
I am watching you play table tennis on the lawn<\/p>\n
\n
With your dearest friend<\/p>\n
\n
What a sweet summer this is<\/p>\n
\n
\n
There are places that are divorced from the world<\/p>\n
\n
You could almost call them havens of tranquillity<\/p>\n
\n
Our summer house is one of these places<\/p>\n
\n
But we purchased it during a fierce storm<\/p>\n
\n
That wrecked the beachside cottages<\/p>\n
\n
At the base of the cliff<\/p>\n
\n
\n
You have both tired of your strenuous game<\/p>\n
\n
And are swimming in the blue pool<\/p>\n
\n
That separates the garden from the cliff path<\/p>\n
\n
You ask me to join you but I decline<\/p>\n
\n
As I am editing a book that I wrote during the winter months<\/p>\n
