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.
