The Gift
She swims through consciousness, dimly aware of the morning light
as the day filters through the blur of her half opened eyelids
Resting her forearm across her brow
she stares up at the blue ceiling above her bed
until the foggy mist from her dream filled sleep finally starts to clear
Her mind awakens like a well oiled clock
cogs turning slowly at first
then with a little fine micromechanical early morning tuning
her pendulum begins to sway rhythmically in time with the day
Thoughts of things to come and yesterday are again set in motion
Appointments filter through
and then there’s the parcel she needs to send
Must wrap it up in brown paper, tied with string
remembering to slip in the handwritten note she promised him
penned in scrolls and Indian ink
Rolling on her side, curling her knees up to her chest
she stares unseeing at the wall
She’ll spray his surprise with her favourite perfume
reminding him of her scent
and smiling, she visualises him opening her carefully prepared gift
She see’s him untie the string
even hears the paper crackling as he lifts back the folds
slowly reaching in to finger the fabric
she watches in her mind as he lifts lace from soft, white tissue paper
and his utter surprise that she has fulfilled her promise
Smiling to herself she closes her eyes
snuggling deliciously deeper under the covers
wrapping her arms around her knees
while savouring the misty sweet daydream
Tender thoughts of love, hope and desire all tied up in string

A beautiful subtle image with your absolutely divine textures Tracey – to go with the most tender words… a wonderful daydream… But – you know… I look into ‘her’ eyes in the image… and there is strength in them… I am not totally sure that ‘she’ is a woman who feels she needs to totally ‘give’ herself to anyone… She is strong enough in herself to be herself anyway… maybe? This is just what I ‘see’... A most wonderful sense of renaissance chairoscurro (how on earth do you spell that???) in the image – it’s beautiful :)))
