A mind that's free,
Just being me.
The reality that you can't disengage, retreat
Revelation, transformation
Familiar smells and sensations
Evening walks spent making plans and prose
Holding too much in my head all at once as the creative mechanism that is strung between my brain and my heart buzzes and whirs actively
Black-eyed susans and soft grasses
Bike passes
A group of strangers amasses to watch a duck and her ducklings glide around the pond
It's taken me long enough to choose this path, to explore this way instead of that
Guess I saved it for the perfect night, when that bunny and her little one would be sitting just there
Didn't run off as I approached, weren't scared
Smiling on impulse when no one's around to see
Nearing home, confidently knowing that you've grown-
I grew today.
Summer's not over,
In fact, it's in full-swing
Heat and gentle coolness, but even when Autumn comes
Parades and festivals, the delicate crush of leaves underfoot, the comfort of a light jacket, of crispness, of clearness, and of course
Flights to distant places
To see beloved faces
The promise of something new coming soon
