Summer Reading

To be once more where skies are blue and clear

Where air is sweet as morning dew’s clean kiss

The sun glows bright and golden light is dear

How sweet that quiet calm with her is bliss

Sitting atop our green grass blanket hill

While side by side each lost in world’s apart

The words we read give our own minds their fill

Gone far away yet two books share a heart

But perhaps her thoughts drift so far from now

Know that the writer takes her from my side

To make her smile at unknown tales somehow

She’s not all mine though comfort friends provide

For I know she is near and chose in me

Separate stories in shared company
