August

It’s carrot cakes and veggie sliders

Shakespeare in the Park

It’s fireside starlight

And settling the heart

It’s peaches picked

Like sunrise

stacked fantasy novels read

It’s chocolate chip pancakes

With blueberries made their bed

Its heat and breath

And trusting 

letting go of yesterday.

Not forgetting time moves quickest

When not spent

focused on today.
