Summer Steered

Let me sugar shake the wind
you hold one end of this sheet
I'll latch quick to the ends of the other
White to the sky 
to billow, fly
We'll laugh as we face one another

Let you run the minty grass
You hold the wand
I'll get the bubbles
Dip to the soap
'till up, up they float
away with the skin of our troubles

Let me bloom the orange tree
you hold the basket
I'll cut the leaves
Flowers to pop
one by one 'till they drop
to the scent, every memory summer retrieves

Let you fall the sun
You close your eyes in the sheets
I'll tuck the blossoms behind both your ears
Bubbles will fly
The summer goes by
and happiness leads us wherever it steers.
