Sundays in the Park With Pupka

The lake in Delaware Park
mirrors the Greek beauty
of the Albright Knox Art Gallery
and of the white - pillared
Historical Museum.
A kite,
salmon and soft against the azure sky,
soars to reach the sun...
seemingly in flight all on its own.

I sit on my blanket
and listen
to the soft sounds
of the jazz ensemble
where the people are gathered
on the back white marble steps of the gallery.
I can feel the wind
as it riffles the oaks and old maples
along the bike path.

I wish this time would last forever.
