If I could magically
Add days to the year
I’d do it midsummer
I’d love to stretch
This diaphanous time
To be longer
This fulcrum
Between the shores of school’s end
And the new year’s start
Is a magical time
Of relation
And renewal
The cool
Peaceful
Mornings
With time to read
And time to write
And time to wake to the day
A hike to the lake
To visit my pelicans
And sit lakeside with ease
AN afternoon squall
To wash the day clean
And water my soul
There’s a freedom
That comes
With summer
Floating down the canyon
Dancing under the stars
Peacefully just being
