In my arms
And feel your sun-warm skin,
Inhale the scent
Of sun tan lotion,
I’m back in another season
Embracing July.
We walked upstream
In a river of colored pebbles
Each footfall
A rainbow ripple
And my heart
Your steppingstone;
And so it is
I’m never alone,
Not with all those shiny moments
Shattered yet saved
In the mosaic of memory
And you
A golden reverie
Now that summer’s done…
But such a lovely ruin!
