The Translucent Umbrella

The Translucent Umbrella

A Poem by Barbara R Deraoui

You are sitting in a desert with no one around. 

The sky is blue, with a scattering of clouds.  

The sand is white but very fine. 

It’s soft to the touch like fine silk. 

There is a slight breeze.

It’s not too hot or cold.

It brushes against your face ever so gently. 

There is no noise. 

It’s quiet and still.

You can hear your breathing.

Over the top of you sits a translucent umbrella of light. 

It’s made of peace, love, and protection. 

As you start to walk, the umbrella follows you.

 It will be with you forever.
