peeped out

peeped out this corner
of the muffin i was sleeping in
unfolded to a world of sunshine
over long green warm waving
howdy you and the day

blue sky, clouds rolling by
cookie cutter decorations dancing wow,
a happy dog skipping hills yonder
by fragrant flowers and a spinning water wheel.

kitty sunk down watching
from low in long waving green
wiggles forward
keeping a quiet low profile;
content as he ought to be;
perhaps a tad more alert than we
to the general overall goings on.

This reminds me of sitting on the beach, eyes closed, and then opening them- how brilliant and important are the waves, the sky, the water, the happy shouts, and the children.

I love the feeling this poem evokes, with images both languid and vital, and the way light and temperature and activity is interwoven.
