Here Just Awhile

languishing lonely
as a cloud
drifting dreamily
from the crowd

shifting serenely
as the seas
rising roaming
in summer’s breeze

easing easily
by the sun
children chortling
with laughter run

fading faintly
is the day
drifting dissolving
into the bay

tenderly taken
by the night
silently slipping
out of sight

Another winner. Reading the poem, I can visualize the children in glee running about. There is much power in the endearing simplicity of your words and images. Be well, Brian
