on the patio
the afternoon drifts along
with the butterfly

I am taken back
To that Sunday, or was it that Saturday
Afternoon
On the decking by the pond
Indeed it was the official
Opening of the pond
When friends came around
With warm smiles
And happy conversations
And to celebrate
The slow roast pork was cooked
All morning through
It was early evening before all dispersed
A time for the moths
To replace the butterflies
