English sunlight ...




I woke up in English sunlight - 

Beyond the window were fields of buttercups, a quiet wood on a hill - 

Under the hazy sky there was a church tower - 

Birds sang amongst tender rooftops - 

I lay with Anne upon the high bed -

She wore her brown skin unaware of its beauty - 

Around us were wonders - 

A young Alexander rode naked into legend - 

A minotaur pushed against a mirror, searching for a golden thread - 

A lute waited for the touch of subtle fingers - 

The white walls of each room had been blessed to keep out sorrow - 

This deep valley was a place for dreams and gentle magic -
