i sit by the river
and
wait
i stand by the ocean
and
dream
looking at the stars
sitting by the sun
underneath a light blue sky
and i could do this forever
until i grow old
and until my kids
grow up and do the same thing
as they wonder
who they are meant to be
the room smelled sweet
sweetness a mix between
the sterile and calm
a sweet temptation just out of my reach
yesterday
to you i was nine years old
with a black hurley hat
that never left my head
the hat that you would take
and try to hold it far above
my reach knowing i could never get it
Summer nights
Taste of sweet smoke
Laughter and kindness
The generosity of strangers
The hopes of tomorrow
And the struggles of a past day
Fall days
Feel the heat on your back
