Scentery


I need a change of scentery;

Evergreen breezes singing soft lulling nothings to my nose.

Smoky campfire wafting tinfoil dinner and smore bedtime stories

Lily pad lakes filled with rainbows of trout snacking on mosquito bites

An afternoon of scent recognition skills in tourist laden shops offering every candle

 imaginable and some not.

River water tumbling over mossy rock and sand

Horses in sweat-soaked leather waiting to carry me out and back

Lavender and sandalwood kneaded into the softening dough of my skin and brain, surrendering on the table, spent, post rocky trail hike

Moonlit scent hot tub in a starry twinkle safe envelope

Rose blossom bliss on a sun-warmed early morn

 Hammock cradle in cottonwood shade telling stories from years gone by

Hot inner tube scorch mixed with river splash ice cool

Omelets and orange juice and room service for two in the early afternoon

Fresh olfactory essence filling me renewed
