town of my dreams
streets slick with night
green spring sunny days
time
to sit
and write
breakfast
and lunch on the terrace
sparkling sea water
peaceful
walks along the beach
talks with friends
colleagues students
artists
sunny day
convertible drives
top down
along a coastal highway
trips to mountains
picnics in meadows
music at the symphony hall
ballet and opera
at the theater
cocktails on the boat
in evening
cathedrals
cool large and hushed
outdoor cafes in the afternoon
people walking by
us sitting talking laughing
snorkeling
in quiet coves
of afternoon sun
barbeques
with friends
kids and grandkids
and time
precious time

Things money can't buy, eh. ;) From the beach to the theater to the backyard -- the 'ideal' simple life.
i must agree with your closing here... time best mentioned among the things in life that make it worth living.. time to just be.....
Yeah sweet Soulless, and places that belong to an unusual form of geography. My life is a bit over-complicated at the moment - I'm not talking about lazy living - but just the complication I choose and can handle. No more out of controll and maxed beyond the limit. Thanks for that wonderful comment!
Hi Paisley! That's the issue exactly, time should be our friend not an enemy. You are very perceptive. Thanks for that fine comment.

'GOOD day...

*sigh*
No problem! Color me your friendly advice source. I don't know whether I'll be of much help, I need more advice than I'll ever be able to give but I'll give it a try.
Wow Shubhodeep, what wonderful news! I am greatful and honored to hear you announce your happy words. See I told you to have faith in your abilities. You have the talent and I have the honor to have been right about that. Now it is confirmed. Please keep us all updated on all these happy and well deserved developments.
All the best, my friend! Thanks for those kind words.
Wow, hi Nicole! A sigh from you is a symphony to me! Thanks.
Hi, I really liked this piece, it brought to me a sense of peace, you've almost described a certain utopia. I love how vividly you described everything. Great use of words. Wonderful!
BTW, thanks for your comment on my blog! Have a great week.
Hi Jane Doe! I am so glad you came and enjoyed this. Thanks for those wonderful words. You're always welcome here!
I have "fallen" on those "streets slick with night" many times. The last two lines sum this up perfectly.
Hi Pat, how well you know me, my old friend! For some of us, I guess that descriptive metaphor is just calling a thing by its real name. And as for time, I love teaching just as I loved cooking. Everything should be practised as an art and a science but I wish I was a little freer to travel and study. There is still so much I want to understand. Thanks for that great comment.
