She's Mona Lisa in the window

sun shines through her

while a small breeze floats by

stealing a mischevious wink

wrapping it in a laugh

and sending it into the gulf

It arrives with a tiny rose

sitting atop a cushion of hope

I open it up and smile

amazed at finding inside

a pink feather boa

wrapped around a

mason jar of fireflies

that light up my darkness

like the first night of

Mardi Gras...


K... for all the smiles and laughter you give me, I am so grateful.
Caroline

Oh my goodness, did you ever capture the very essence of Serenity with this darling tribute to her.  Well done!  A pink feather boa would be exactly right. Glad I checked in before turning this box off, or I might have missed this.

And when Mona leases
her lease
on a smile

than what else
can be savored?
