Aunt Mary

Sweet and sour,
chemicals in the air;
Blown in the evening breeze and in the summer morning.

An easy laugh,
friends circled around;
anything said is intelligent.

We must write it down,
to see our work,
as well as remember what was said.

It's calming,
soothing,
we must have it to solve our problems.

There is no longer a drive,
no need to work;
peace and government will save us all.

Maybe.

Aunty Mary,

Come join the gang,
chase our fears away,
our doubts,
our insecurities.

You are our love,
our family,
our reason of being.

There's Laughter and Joy,
deep thought and rambling.

Forget the real world,
Lets chill for tonight.
