lots of unfinished thoughts in the blog doc- but here's one I could actually complete- an ode to summer on this the first day!
Ode To Summer:
Here’s to summer!
To slow morning cups of coffee,
the boost of my engine as it catches up with my foot on the gas pedal,
To soft, cotton, dresses with pockets,
long walks to no where in particular,
Open-air farmers markets,
ice cream cones with rainbow sprinkles from the truck,
open-toed shoes,
no dress code,
new freckles,
old friends,
pink cheeks,
catching fireflies,
catching up,
making wishes,
watching stars.
Here’s to summer,
late nights talking,
quiet hours remembering,
stolen minutes sorting out life,
figuring it out,
changing your mind, starting fresh tomorrow.
Here’s to summer,
spontaneous gatherings,
well-laid plans,
sand under feet,
fresh cut grass.
Here’s to summer,
ice clinking in glasses,
kids giggling and running,
shimmering water,
tanlines.
Here’s to summer,
music pumping,
shoulders shimmying,
lights glimmering,
loved-ones laughing.
Here’s to summer,
to time-
time to share,
time to spare,
time to move,
time to improve,
time to listen,
time to drown-it-out.
Here’s to summer,
for all that you are
all that you may be,
is all that we make you!
