summer daze

when sands through the hourglass slow their drifted pace

and every sunshine adventure mooted is met with a resounding yes!

self-picked frozen berries make the most delicious daiquiris

and nectarines filled with hot sunshine are cooled to liquid pleasure.

when hazy days splash into surfy dinners,

through days and weeks and almost over a year,

laced with the comings and goings of delightful visitors

and time takes on a fijian hue – life happens whenever we get there.

when everything regains its darker chocolate coating

and happy little espressos magically appear,

borne by my repierced poet who regains his vigour and vision

as his hair and heart both lighten in the heat.

ah, endless summer, how i love thee.
