    Sun's brilliance opens hearts,
    a myriad of possibilities.

    h-m-m-m, I'm already thinking about summer...


    dust motes dancing
    in a
    sunbeam-
    summer morning

    mosaic of green
    golden
    light-a
    summer afternoon

    summer twilight
    stretches,
    a sleepy
    child
    at bedtime

    all lovely qimssung!

    your quiet fidgets
    make me cry
    for comfort

    Flying high
    in a performance lit sky
    "I’ve tasted all the sweetest creams
    and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
    sunny skies pervade my dreams
    and light the dark of earthly scenes..."

    Yellow cats-
    a crayon drawing
    on the fridge.

    By the sea
    With me
    Can we flee

    The sea swirls,
    pulling me to
    watery dreams.

    a conversion
    of fantasy
    to an impotent awareness.

    inclining their ears,
    can they really be listening?
