This breeze upon my body
Marking my heart with
Golden hues of a summer dream
Well shaped clouds
Floating on a layer
Of atmospheric bliss
So ready for the taking
I’ve held my breath for a while now
Watching swallows float sideways
Playing a game I’ve not learned
Freshly trampled grass
Mixed with freshly cut grass
Mixed with lambs calling to their ewes
And starlings sitting on their perch
At the big barn’s ridge cap
Lightly whispering seed tops
Of the past ripe brome grass
Remind me that the sun is growing old
And my day has begun to prepare
For evenings welcome rest.
Month: July 2026
At The Waterfalls
It was like our first kiss
At the waterfalls
Big Laurentian rocks
All adventure
Full of snow flakes
And chain links
And our first kiss
On some dry ground
At the waterfalls
That we couldn’t miss
With a city beat
Hidden heat
In some Mexican
After flying in
From the Maritimes
With my special shoes
For a new chance
At a first kiss
On the waterfalls
In a winter maze
Holding your hand
For our first time
Sweaty palms
And frozen ears
With a short flight
Night drive
For our first kiss
At the waterfalls.
