100 word prose-poem, 1 word title...

Dream...

Dog and I, an unfamiliar path... 
Filtered light of summer through the fresh green canopy sparkles diamonds on the warm ferns and grasses along the way, 
which narrows and loses itself,
finds itself,
suddenly
beside a driveway and an isolated brick-red house.

A dog barks, an open bay-window and,
sweet,
     -a drowsy clarinet
      filling the sudden air and
      echoing the birdsong...

Had someone leaned out and, mellow, called my name, or not called my name, 
I might have answered, 
I might have left my lovely life
without a thought,
without a backward glance,
and, longing, entered the house...

  1. I like this. Probably ill-advised, though.

    1. Oh thank you! Yes, it would have been an ill-advised action!
