Summer Smoke

Smoke dreams on a summer night Fill me with a heady mixture The night’s textures wrap me in their tenderness And its musical refrains tickle my ears As heavy scents waff upward In cosmic celebration I’m of the stars and the night this evening I’ve shaken these earthly shackles If only for a moment’s passing If only it could linger longer So I could rise to all its promises And float endlessly In this summer night If only I could be the summer night And never feel the heat or see the Sun If only I could float on summer promises And always be close to heaven’s magic If only a summer’s night could be forever Then the stars would always be mine and time could lie down
