Your heart bubbles like those giggles coming over the fence where children play Marco Polo in the pool.
Beating like flip-flops on concrete,
You are the fun new neon beach tote with the fresh towels, suntan lotion and lunch.
Your joy varies like the colors of sand particles trapped between your toes.
Boundless for now like the balmy breeze pushing up and emitting your deepest inspiration—
You take a light shoulder wrap for evening over that strapless dress that falls easily to the floor—or just as easily runs laughing from the room.
Why would you succumb to anything just yet?
Wait until August or maybe the end of September when all the beach chairs are full and the crowd knows about you. They want every morsel, every memorable moment filled with your essence and that’s when you know you are timeless. They luxuriate and think everything will continue and you know that it will, because there’s a lot more inside of you waiting to get out.

ReplyDeleteI wish I could explain my thoughts – amazed, envious (of the beautiful writing), warm, happy, sad. So many pictures in my mind and a complete lack of words to express what I felt. Would Wow! Suffice?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and very informative, too!! It amazes me that you can put such sage advice into a poem and make it sound like we should all be paying attention. Note...you've got my attention!!
ReplyDeleteLovely thoughts! You are one of the talented poets among us--I can't write poetry to save my life;).
ReplyDeleteI love your summer poem, very descriptive and full of great imagery! The photo is beautiful, reminding me of some good things about summer.
ReplyDeleteYou, lady, have a way with words. Friendship and love ooze from your heart to your written pages.
