Loon laughter

echoes

Out over water

mirroring

Mother sky,

Bending her generous self

Down to earth,

Betraying

All her secrets.

 

Fullness

Everywhere

Evident

In all

This green,

This blue,

This abundance.

 

Mature summer,

Full

Of space

Around and

Inside

Full of time

To waste

Well.

Bare schedule,

Bare responsibilities,

Meet

Bare skin,

Bare feet,

Meet

Sun freckles,

Sun burns,

Here.

 

Smoke,

Lingering,

Linking

All of us

Together.

Flames,

Licking,

Lurking,

Rallying

When stirred.

 

Unquenchable

Smirks,

Unapologetic

Splashes,

Unruly

Behaviour

Justified

Here.

Communal

Table,

Laden,

Thick

with

Tales

Exaggerated

Slightly

Savouring

Each

Soul

Here.

 

 

Living full,

Well,

Where rest

Eases us.

Where play

Grows us.

Where love

Enfolds us.

Right

Here.
