Senses

I saw a man in a long white robe and a garland of green. He bent his knee and offered me food, then sent me away with kind blessings. 

I heard a song to stir the heart and sang along with joy. A chorus of angels joined in.

I smelled pong from a stinky cat who’d invaded the yard. My two garden warriors chased him away.

I tasted custard and ginger cake, all warm and yummy.

I touched the hair of my lovely boy and held him safe in my arms. He smiled and laughed and all his worries melted away.

I thought I was lucky and counted my blessings, more fortunate than so many.
