Blue Skies

I can still inhale the aroma of freshly mown fields
the bales lying out in the sun to dry
Sweaty faces
grimy arms
lips begging
for the refreshing taste of cold spring water
Under cloudless blue skies of mid July
My feet recall the feel of stubbled grasses
prickling bare skin
tickling the delight of a child
The smell of dewberries and horses tantalizing
They tease for one more minute in the sun
wispy clouds drifting across clear blue skies
Each contrasting and begging the imagination
to find a shape
discover the game
feel the dreams of summer.
My tongue recalls the sweet taste of hidden raspberries
under canopies of deep green alders
shading the sun
disguising the light blue skies of August
as stained fingers pick just one more
while the song of laughter rings over the hill.
And I am lured to relish blue skies.
