Dreaming of Summer's At Grandmother's House

pirate ship, shirtless boys with candy-apple-dreams,
a caramel glazed sun, smothering the sky. 

dancing pines rap the window pane, 
awakening sparkle-fish-streams, 
wonderment sealed in little boy mason jars.
 
painted faces-foreign lands, king’s-ransom-gold,
ancient forests of knighthood battles, 
harrowing mountain ravines
swimming holes.
 
night time falls blanketing the sky,
climbing the willow tree,
counting the pin-cushioned-holestars- 
sling-shot-naps,
bare-foot-races with dragon flies.
