golden ticket.

Standard
how lucky am I?
today I found the golden ticket
just waiting for me in my mailbox.
“It was a very beautiful thing, this Golden Ticket, having been made, so it seemed, from a sheet of pure gold hammered out almost to the thinness of paper. On one side of it, printed by some clever method in jet-black letters, was the invitation itself—from Mr. Wonka.”
– roald dahl,  (Willy Wonka), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

melted heart.

lucky encounter

of a piece of summer’s art –

when crossing paths 

with a melted ice cream heart.

 

 

 

“besides being a useful adjunct to courtship,

ice-cream is often employed to feed poets upon.”

~”A Few Casual Remarks on Ice-Cream,” Puck, 1881

what a lovely coincidence

that on this day

as i continue on my city parks journey

and drive through a neighborhood

i am lost

until

i come to the intersection of

pamela and patricia

the names of

my two sisters

one still with us

 one gone forever

and today –

her birthday

i look ahead to find

they’ve led me

to the beautiful park right in front of me.

a relaxed and wonderful evening 

spent with my three daughters

dinner at the prickly pear cafe

then

movie and laughs and talk  

just the four of us

enjoying each others’ good company.

because of them

i have always known

that

four is my lucky number.
