A Collision

Literature

(4). A Collision.

This Guernsey girl is naturally

Blonde, although some wispy

Greys have started to appear.

She is vertically challenged…a

Little on the short side.

She exercises gentleness but can

Also be waspish, if provoked.

She was born in an anxious state

Of parents embellished with anxiety.

She treads Mother Earth with awe

And reference…a true child of nature.

She does not come alive unless

Connected to the land…then, she lights up

Like a rainbow caresses the sky.

She has attained Angel status…claims

Our music Professor, Surinder Singh Mathura.

I find it challenging to live up to such exalted realms.

She is Jenny Smith…our souls have journeyed

Together down the ages. As Arch – Angel Gabriel

Told me, “You have met a Kindred Spirit whose wisdom

And beauty are iridescent”.

A continuum…

Writing about people through their clothes.

Stepping out of her clothes is a very private affair. All that I can be sure of is that all these organic cotton items of concealment originated from Greenfibres, of Transition Town Totnes. She gently discards these items and, barely creating a whisper of breath, replaces them with a pure cotton, pale pink nightdress. She slides her slight, yet curvaceous body into bed. Then she takes her repose upon organic cotton sheets, underpinned by anti – allergy, pure white cotton. Having already attained Angel status, she also sleeps angelically.

She tends to sleep late, normally arising gently, almost silently. Sitting serenely upon the side of the bed, she sips sacred spring water…to quench her thirst and to cleanse her graceful body. Methodically, she re – enters the organic clothes that she discarded the night before…all except those that do not smell as fresh as the dew upon the English rose.

Invariably, when it is cold, she will also wear her own hand – carded, hand spun, hand plied, hand knitted, organic woollen garments.
