The Perfect Day"
This morning was Grey, not just Grey but a mix of Grey white and white on white, as the clouds rolled in it began to rain. I stood at the bay window facing our back yard and I notice how green everything is. So rich and lush I'm drinking in all these intense colors ...out of nowhere she slid up behind me and slipped her arms around me resting her perfect head of deep copper between my shoulder blades.. she said " Hey" to which I said "hey" in return. most people say good morning but not us. Kathleen and I have our own special language... leaves people with this baffled look which amuses us to no end I can tell you. " it's really coming down out there " she said I just smiled "yeah I know ...its perfect" she slid around stealing my coffee " ooo Warm" and sipped it with that Fox like smile
"Hold that cup," I said and slipped off to the kitchen to fix her a cup. I held out the fresh cup to my wife and she said" no I'll keep this one...It likes me" I said yep I know how it feels cause I like you too....ok I love you.it's my Mantra ya know?" she giggled." nice mantra but I think I beat you there.." I said " Oh? how? she giggles again like the peels of silver bells her giggles she said:" I say it a thousand times a day..without saying a word and ya feel it each and every time" I looked into her deep Saphire Eyes "That I Do Mrs. Kittle ...That I Do..
"what are ya playing on the Stereo?" she asked "oh I found this old CD marked Recital 1990 had piano keys painted on it so.." she Gasped "oh no not that I was not that good then ..Take it out!!!" I told her nope this is perfect for this day.. And By this I mean each raindrop co-insides with each note and it gives life to each other just like we do for each other...Even when we disagree, it's like a minor note complementing 2 major notes making up a chord or phrase...she said "only you can see things beyond this scope of existence" I held her hand in mine as we set cups down and danced slowly across the living room floor.." for most of my life I thought I was alone ..the only person in the world to see beyond sight" she laughed "ok liono" I laughed " thunder cats ho!" I said... I am glad to be finally home.... she turned her head as we just stood there... looking out she said " it is the most perfect day"
