It came back,
Summer!
Walking in my
blue denim jeans
and bare feet
with freshly painted
candy-apple-red-toenails
I giggle..
I feel free
I am me.


Flashbacks:
November winds
December cold snaps
January snowfalls

The noise of cars
pollutes this moment
of peace
rapture.


Seizing the moment
my mind drinks in
the flower garden
neatly kept
in front of
my house on the corner..
I fight to block
out the unnatural.
I shut my eyes
and for a
split second
only I exist
            I'm walking in my
            blue denim jeans
            and bare feet
            with freshly painted
            candy-apple-red-toenails

I giggle aloud
I am free..

I am me

And, it is finally SUMMER!

The longest day in this half of the hemisphere...

and I hope it is as glorious for all,
as it looks on you, Tinker!

This sounds like the call of the satisfied sungirl.  Even in Oregon, it is finally summer.  Hugs.  KJ

Enchantress,

Yes, I can just see you with your "freshly painted toes nails". This is an autopoem.
Great!

Thanks so much again everyone for your kind replies.

*Special note to Karen/Startime,
we have family in Edmonton and have been
watching the weather network uneasily.
Stay safe and dry*
