lying in bed
on a cold windy saturday afternoon
staring out at the sky
i look at the minature plane
flying through the clouds
am i envious
no
do i want to travel again
no
all i want and have
is shelter a short walking distance
to a beach
a village shopping centre
food on the table
music
a poetry blog
internet
and my cuddle buddy
cosy under my big fur rug
and don't have
is good health
for the both of us
the missing component
and
the most important
Is it the most important? I'm not sure (maybe love is) but it's certainly a foundation for everything else. I'm glad for you that you have the everything else anyway, and have in the past had things you've now stopped wanting or needing, such as travel.
ReplyDeleteI love your list of "haves" ... and the fact that envy isn't something you experience (doesn't surprise me though.) The aging part of our lives, the myriad aches, pains, troubles is not the most pleasant, I can do without. But inevitable I suppose. Cheers, Rall.
ReplyDeleteWell I wish the both of you improved health, so that health doesn't become a distraction from the cosy snuggles.
ReplyDeletePK
Everyone needs a cuddle buddy.
