Did you read by the lingering light?

Lingering lights of a lazy noon,
creep into my garden nook,
Green and golden rays on me,
trace patterns on my book.

A beetle; curious creature,
climbs onto my bandaid knee,
Wisely peers into my face,
and wanders nonchalantly.

The lightest warmth is teasing,
I smile and close my eyes;
My book shakes off my drowziness,
and the sound of dragonfiles.

The fragrance of our Mother earth,
The smoky scent of swept leaves burnt;
The aroma of old, ancient herbs,
Memories of lessons learnt.

And then I hear a happy call,
Come calling out to me,
It is my darling Grandma,
and she's calling me for tea!
