The Perfect Day

You wake with
no aches
in the arms
of your beloved
to the smell of fresh coffee
you eat a giant breakfast
with no thought
of carbs
there is time to read
with a purring cat on your lap
later you walk by the ocean
with your dog
on this cut crystal day
your favorite music and the sun
fill the house
a short delicious nap
under a fleece throw
comes later
and the phone doesn't ring
at dusk you roast a chicken,
bake bread, make an exquisite
chocolate cake
for some friends
you've been missing
someone brings you an
unexpected present
and the wine is just right with the food
after a wonderful party
you sink into sleep
in a clean nightgown
in fresh sheets
your sweetheart doesn't snore
and in your dreams
and old piece of sadness
lifts away

What would make a perfect day for me?
1) I don't have to wake up to the ringing sounds of an alarm clock
2) Freshly squeezed orange juice made by my mum
3) A nice and sunny day
4) My favourite music playing on my stereo
5) warm and fresh soya bean milk from the market
6) crisp and warm 油条 to go with the soya bean milk
7) A day spent canoeing and hanging out at the beach
8) Reading a good book
9) Talking to good friends
10) Snuggling into nice pyjamas and the warm familiarity of my bed

I could think of more, but for now this is it. What constitutes a perfect day for you then?
