on any given day
i might wish to
live in a tent for the summer
run through the forest at dawn
breathe in the scent of white roses
roll in the green sheet of lawn
::
but at night i find i’d simply rather
bathe in the silence of moonlight
fold my heart into the arms of dancing stars
smile at the envelope of birdsong
lie beneath this veil of muffled charm

Enjoyed your poem, especially the summery flow of the first stanza. Nicely written.

love this! it makes me want to dash outside RIGHT NOW and revel in the sun’s rays, and never come back inside.

True on any given day
One never knows where they’ll stray
Or it what place they’ll play
Hoping for no dismay
