Simple days of Summer
convey simple moments:
a humming hummingbird,
dancing dandelion,
a hazy morning, blurred.
Simple days of Summer
whisper of simple times:
sharing a root beer float,
going to the movies,
fishing from a friend's boat.
Simple days of Summer
conjure simple pleasures:
antiquated book stores,
picnics on a bronze beach,
bare feet on polished floors.
Simple days of Summer
tickle simple senses:
sweet homemade lemonade,
slushy, syruped snow cones,
denim shorts with hems frayed.
The battle lions are drawn
Syruped upon the wind
Spanning a silence fraught with the nervous and the calm.
Sultry the nanimals linger in the praying field
Lurid with cranberry eyes they touch.
In touch with you and me.
So step outside and see.
How many things you can be.
