It's a Lilly Day

It's a Lilly day...
sunshine and wind,
rainbow shining across
the whole sky.
The day is full of Greek islands,
and Mediterranean sea breezes;
leaves whirligigging around my feet;
aspen trees quivering
and shimmering with freedom...
a fresh mist spattering my face
out of a naked, sun plastered sky;
Bailey-dog prancing on his toes
with his nose in the wind, sniffing everything...
my sorrows trying to hang on heavy
but joy pouring all around them,
like colorful waters
around dark stones.
