Passed the Daughter Test
I never know if the rare poem hat enters is my life will be a life long friend or an insufferable bore that should be shown the door asap with with my parting words of "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" chasing the verse down the street. This one passed the critical daughter test.
A Summer Afternoon
The feel of mountain grass beneath our backs
Our bodies curving with the orbit of the earth
The sight of the timeless God
Disguised in cloud rainments
Billowing arms outstretched
The aroma of the eternal sun fills our lungs
As it slowly climbs over towering green cliffs
We look at each other-trembling
"How long can you hold your breath?" I ask
"How long can you hold me?" she answers
