Don'T Quit Your Daydream
Despite being hoisted on arid ground,
My barely hidden refuge, a sensual shadow
On the road, I laid out for stifled sorrow
distorted silhouettes of the decayed bound.
Peaceful water and tangy, light wind
warm light on my arms, and stoked sand
Now, via fragmented flower-bed land
A riot of magic florets and birds chimed.
Lush conifer forests smell of pine
Cool shade and light, crunching pine twigs
Out into the sun, a breeze for sailing jigs
Crickets leap around me on a supple line.
A soft smile on my face and a passion I cannot hide
eyes wide and unclasped, fantasizing about you
blissful as a nostalgic journey at our venue
I value that you are daydreaming too, eyes wide.
