.
Beyond the border of withering dreams,
blue skies and ribbons played as
poolside wishes slept in the cabana
Winter followed the guards
while north of here braced for another
stranger to walk through the gate
Beauty sat on the rim waiting for
dark features of sun tanned wisdom
to sing sonnets of warmer climates
But the intense glare of a protective sun
blinded her ability to see as her pina colada
melted and ice formed in her eyes
Nothing left now but a shadow walking
beneath the umbrella shading her fading smile
as summer came and went without even a wink
