haha, I thought I wasn't going to write today, then I thought I was going to write another short one, hahaha maybe I'll try again later for a shorty. I think one is brewing right now, but for now, this:

The Fun of Setting the Buzz

Yeah,
there’s lots to do
but it’s summer;
the clock slows
quite nicely,
well, if I let it.

The weeds are fast,
fruit is ripening,
and when night comes,
it announces that
another day has gone.

But it’s summer
and my
resist is intact;
I don’t let myself hurry
or worry,
at least for a time.

Oh, yeah,
time, the reason
for setting the buzz.
Giggle,
so I can rejoice
that all I need do
is shut it off,
smile
and loll
or measure my paces
in waltz time.
Along the path,
through the woods,
beside the stream
where dreams
write poems
and butterflies tickle the air.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer...
Much enjoyed the lightheartedness of this Virginia.
Hugs~

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
