The birds whistle their song Traces of soft grass in the air A prickly warmth on my back A clench on my lungs. Children’s laughter, a distant echo The ice cream van tune A stop motion picture A clench on my lungs. Elderly couples hold hands A dog chases a ball The world is turning as there’s a clench on my lungs.
Flies hum in the gloam - their glowing bodies float up high. Thoughts swim through dark pools, as my eyes stare wide at the unseen. My fight doused in doxepine, rides waves to dancing shores.
This is a re-write. I wasn't happy with version 1!
Fresh morning Bluest of skies Not one cloud to be seen The sun in your eyes Warm breeze Beach sand tickling the feet Close your eyes Let it be Do what you must today Have fun You don’t know what will come your way You don’t know what tomorrow brings and ...... if it comes along. So..... Carpe diem!!
