Sweet Old Summertime

Memories. 

Songs that sing of our friendship and more.

Anthems of our heated days and cooler nights.

Waking up without a care in the world.

Just the sunlight ahead of us and the sweet summertime. 

Things are hard to forget when they were so good.

Smiles for days and talks throughout the night.

We had conversations that questioned life. 

Thank you for that.

Muscles Ache

My muscles ache..

pushing

pulling 

tense 

tired

sore 

dancing with people

some strangers; some known

swimming in rivers

cold waters to wash away the sweat

peddling up and down hills 

fresh air pushing my hair back

artfully swaying my hips; knees bent. 

sending out sweet rhythm into the air

riding in circles 

only to make butterflies dizzy

running home in the rain 

laughing all the way

My muscles ache the best way possible. 

Full of everything around me..

Life Is Plentiful

I dreamed under the stars last night..
I enjoyed the laughter of my friends into the early hours of the morning and fell asleep next to them.
Woke to the the sun peaking over the lake that I've never seen before and a cool breeze kissing my face. 
Pink and purple clouds swirled together like colorful drops of water in a crystal blue sky.
I fell back asleep to the sound of crickets singing their sweet lullabies in the early morning air.

My skin is burnt from playing in the sun today.
I have a few more freckles that call my skin home now.
I smell of leftover sweat, fire, and earth.
I jumped off cliffs and swam in emerald green waters.
I drank to much and I laughed to much.
I drove home with the windows down in the rain.

Life
 is 
simple
sweet
and 
plentiful
