YONDER LIES MY SLEEPING SOUL

“I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.”

 

― Margaret Atwood

GUIDING LIGHT – FOY VANCE

 

Summertime blues

shape me to a leaf

greens and pinks

palest blues beyond belief

pegs on the washing line

like punctuations

wooden and plastic

pastel colours; sweet sensations

warm Summer breeze

tickling my knees

swaying grasses

making me sneeze

pale into insignificance

breathe in the balmy air

fill me up with buttercups

spiders trying to lead me to their lair

I avoid by being still

absorbing me in gentle nature's spell

seagulls bombarding me with crusts of bread

they sound so woeful when all is well

idly I wonder what I am

a butterfly or a bee

or am I a dragon in disguise

as a damselfly; suddenly I feel so lazy

my eyes blink once; my eyes blink twice

I succumb to slumber in the sea-salt air

dreaming of where the wild things grow

where time moves slowly without a care

the Autumn days will soon roll in

the green leaves will turn to orange and yellow

before they fall when the first snow's felt

but until that time I'm feeling mellow

Summertime blues

shape me to a leaf

let Summer days take me

far beyond belief.
