Summer has laid its beauty at my feet
The quivering grasses beckon me
to find my inner child
To set me free a little while, so I can see beyond the miles
To feel the grass between my toes
and forge a path to take me home
beyond the sea of margins,
that want to close me in.
With meadows, all around me, tall and wild,
the troubled trials of worry tumble down.
The walls of sorrow crumble, beneath the rising sun,
which shines it's light upon the fields where I am free to run.
The dawn, so gracious to my eyes,
throws caution to the wind.
It pushes me to be a friend to earth and wind and sky.
It leaves the glory in my hand, and keeps me wanting more.
I will shield my eyes against the glare, and let my childhood soar.
Let me cherish just one moment, to breathe in summer's air.
where I can lean on the breast of silence, 'til the moment disappears
