I Return

The elegance

of a simple

divine contact

with the scent

of my summer

memories

laying in salty

sedentary

pools

inside the open skies

that fill my mind's eye

This is the destination

All those years I journeyed

Every forest path

Every babbling stream

and even city streets

where the hot pavement

found my feet

through my sole

and I find them again

All the warm, bright days

They meet here

where they echo back

at times like this

and they are a treasure

I sit here in a clear view

leaning on the truth

that is with me

always now

This is the place

I return...

where all my Summers meet
