Sunset glitters on the beads
Of the curtains. Spring flowers
Bloom in the valley. The gardens
Along the river are filled
With perfume. Smoke of cooking
Fires drifts over the slow barges.
Sparrows hop and tumble in
The branches. Whirling insects
Swam in the air. Who discovered
That one cup of thick wine
Will dispel a thousand cares?

Adam…?
If so, we owe him much gratitude.
smile…
thoughts of spring are strong…this cold February night…M.E.
Thankfully our weather here, apart from the rainy days, is much milder.
shoveling the roof today 😛
Don’t miss that.
