[hometext] => I felt summer, once more... it felt good to remember the laziness of it, if even for just a moment...
[bodytext] => It's midnight.
The moon shines full, round, white...
Calling me, beckoning me...
stop living with my kidgloves on..
momentarily abandon maturity...
come back to simplicity...
to simply... feel.
I slip into the inky blue
embraced by the humid air
for my clandestine tryst with my senes.
Crickets and locusts sing in chorus a moonlight lullabye...
My pristine feet unincumbered by shoes..
Touching prickly blade of grass my feet sink into the soil... cool... earthy.
I lay... finally, not caring...
(Grass stains, what are those?)
my skin... drenched by late night dew.
There, alone... with nothing... just me...
gazing upward...
tree limbs reaching out for the white orb drenching the sky.
Dreams, anxieties and fears slumbering in my wake...
All that incumbers me cast aside-a visit with...
Nothing...
Nothing but solitude.
Finally... for a fleeting moment...
I remember what it is to feel summer.

i have to honestly say i kept passing over this
poem cause i feel very intimidated by you, this morning as i scaned the borad 2 comennt on peoples poems the tittle just kept tugging at me like a pesky kid wanting ice cream at a carnival so i gave it a read,
all i can say is to bad u don't write more, it's not only beautiful but so dam discriptive, and
so real feeling, hope u dont mind me commenting on this, lovely peice of poetry . . .

Oh this was so full and expressive. I also read it twice and it was like for a short period of time---I could see summer thru your eyes. But there is something more that I can't express effectively with words---so i'll just tell you that this left quite an impression on me.

A fine piece of work, Emily. It's a lovely picture you've painted, and I'm glad you were able to scribble once more. May that ability continue.
I love the line "stop living with kidgloves on". Much more meaningful than its surface. Bravo!

This is a beautifully written poem. There is a softness, peaceful and tender spirit inherent in the emotional tone of the poem. A blend of nature and being.
A gentle spirit, well done

Really good poem, Em. I liked it much. Too often we forget about the child inside.
Take care.
