I did that, yep me
Gassing myself up, mm hmm
Remembering now
I did that, yep me
Gassing myself up, mm hmm
Remembering now
Sunflower power
Growing tall, blooming wide- fierce
Beauty-you go plant!
Summer
Spending time with Friends
Who are more like family
Meeting trees that breath life
Doing some urban hiking
On bustling city streets
Knowing that those summer nights
Will see you through all of the transitions
That this season brings
Summer
I’ve written lots of poems about summer. They are never quite what I want them to be. It’s just as well, since it is such a complicated season that is often full of transitions. Last summer I treated myself to some pretty awesome trips where I got to formally meet some redwood trees and reflect on the unexpected happenings in my life that have proven interesting to say the least. Here is another poem for good measure.
Smiles that stretch across the country
Meeting laughter that boldly heals the earth
Hops plants, bikes, and bread
Septima and poems bringing
Endless joy and delight
Ice cold mornings of
burnt oatmeal and ice cream break-
fasting in warm beds
The giddiness of
New love brightens my days with
Soft, easy, bold smiles
