Bus ride


Riding down the winding mountain trail
In an uncomfortable school bus

Listening to Stevie Wonder 
While laughing as we fall out of our seats
From the impact of each pothole

We look forward to each hike
Knowing that the school year is almost over
Bathing in the relief of no more due dates and essays

And when summer comes, we all can finally relax and slow down


At least,
Until next August

  • Sunset

    Walking through the college greens 

    On a warm night


    Some random song stuck in my head

    Playing on repeat once again


    Smelling the new flowers blooming 

    In the garden near my favorite picnic table

  • After the rain

    Humid air drifts through the streets

    Carrying the scent of damp leaves

     

    The birds sing songs of joy 

    While gathering food for their young


    Flowers begin to sprout among the grass and moss
