Thunderstorms raged outside.
Sleeping, a peaceful dream, awaken.
Crashing waves in the tide.
A sip of tea and the scent of bacon
That moment,
The music wafts, "True Love Ways."
Embracing, slowly danced.
Pure chemistry gaze.
Compatible and entranced.
That moment,
Stress and chaos banish.
Spontaneous getaway trips.
Problems and troubles vanish.
Untroubled within safe and secure grips.
That moment,
Pleased to share accommodations.
Delightfully, reading the Sunday newspaper.
Happy memories and observations.
Gifts wrapped in soft tissue paper.
That moment,
Good plans, well-chosen.
Ideas and thoughts stream.
Outside the world is frozen.
Happily, binging on ice cream.
That moment,
A movie classic, "I'll Be Seeing You."
Relaxing, cuddling on the sofa.
Cheerful, joy, and laughter grew.
Enjoyable brunches with a mimosa.
That moment,
Trust and love that's free from stress.
Happy, serene, and grateful for.
Contented bliss and success.
Concerts and the end of Summer adore.
That moment.
Writer's notes: The poem was written for the Get Comfortable Challenge. Thank you for reading. Get Comfortable as Summer turns to Fall.

A Digital Pandemic.
After a long day in the department, Emily dropped her worn and tired dark leather bag on the counter before navigating through the small and disordered kitchen to grab a cold beer from a contrarily empty fridge. She hadn't had a chance to unpack since moving from Newcastle to Glasgow, let alone shop for sustenance, except for cold brews naturally.
