Circles In the Sky - Collaboration With Space Cadet

CIRCLES IN THE SKY Julie traces circles in the sky; Wills her finger to connect the lines So they don't disappear like summer, Where last sun rays simmer. I tug at her grass-stained dress; The hem frills in my fingers. I watch her write her lines With serious dedication. Her bare feet kiss my shins, Soft scratches of ticklish nails. A Ladybug begins its journey Across a bridge of hair. Julie pulls her dress over her knees; She shivers against The moist dew of growing evening looming shadows, Of nearby willow trees. I share my sandwich, lift my glass To her soft trembling lips: I build a house of arms and legs. She makes it home, gently puts the Ladybug on a nearby Daisy to explore, and I explore her. Julie traces circles ‘round my eyes, Wills her finger to connect the line. Of my frowned brow with intense focus, We fold the blanket around ourselves To brush the world aside. Enfolding us in a cocoon, Wrapped into a world of us, alone; while dewing diamonds glisten in our hair, as thousands of glow worms find their way back to warmth; we are lit from within, to shut out cold Autumn's ending.
