A rime couee for the Potlatch Club
Living in the Moment by June Sargent
Artwork by Jewell McChesney at FanArtReview.com



As stars come out in bright array

I celebrate the end of day

with biscuits and hot tea.

The stresses of the day I shed

before I curl onto my bed

with Ginger next to me.




I dream of floating to the moon


inside a glitzy red balloon.


Just leave it all behind.


But soon I hear the bluebirds sing


as earth begins awakening.


And coffee's on my mind.




While Ginger stretches by my side,


my eyes begin to open wide.


Reality sinks in.


Another dawn, another day,


I know not what may come my way.


Just let the fun begin.
