shine

this summer day -

  loving and caring warmth

  envelops me and I can hear

  it whispering adoration in my ear

my eyes see saturated colors of

  red, blue, and green and all

  I can think of is the beach

  and how beautiful it would be

parasols and coolers and ice

  swimsuits and volleyball and

  of course the smell of sunscreen

  and I'll rub it on my shoulders

this summer day -

  this sunny day
