A View From A Bench
A Sonnet Inspired By My Muse
Introduction
This is from a prompt from my Muse with this photograph she shared with me. In this you get two benches four thousand miles apart showing how the world has shrunk but the distances remain the same.
The music is "Just Looking" by The Stereophonics

I Would Love To Sit For A Time
And Enjoy This Beautiful View
On This Bench, As Helios Shines
Sharing Words And A Hug With You

Sitting Here Is So Relaxing
Sky Of Blue Over Calm Water
Lighthouse In The Distance Shining
Here With You, Your Smiles And Laughter

To Be Surrounded By Nature
We're Here Between The Land And Sea
A Cool Breeze And Perfect Weather
I Am With You And You're With Me

Here We Are, Enjoying This View
You Are With Me, And I'm With You

Another Bench For You
I was impressed when I saw these benches on my last visit to Preston.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." β Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

I want to experience and feel this.
This was a soothing and mesmerizing read! Well done, Mike!
The benches look comfortable. I could feel the relationship between the verses. Good work.
Such a wonderful poem and that photo was very beautiful!
