In the saturated sun flowered day - Anita Holzberg

In the saturated sun flowered day

   I wake

        at 4

                 feed the cats

sleep again til 7

  open the curtains to direct sun

    walk on the deck

         the trumpet vines are blooming

              and the snails raise their heads

         a garden that goes on its own

               "low maintenance"

    like everything this summer

              "low key"

                     as another day begins

          a song in my heart

                thinking of You.

The Open Summer - Anita Holzberg

The Open Summer

As the crow flies

 as lemons make lemonade

as the heat rises to 100 degrees

I live the open summer

No schedules

 no waiting in line

    a nap every afternoon

people and places to go not determined

Life is about appreciating these small ammenities

Taking care of the soul

  I call it

I read a good book and relish every page

I meditate twice a day and find my center

I surround myself with silence

Some days I chose a favorite person for lunch

The cool evenings I wrap myself in a comfy blanket

Put the cat by my side

Watch oodles of girl t v

And watch the clock strike midnight

close the light

drift off to sleep.
