Wild roses blossom, grow en masse,
blue cloudless skies,
soft summer sighs,
my languid daydreams flit and pass.
Coy, lazy tease,
of timid breeze.
I lay upon my back and gaze,
our hammock bed,
enfolds my head,
these peaceful, tranquil, endless days.

These minutes ceding day to night
Sift like the sands
Through open hands
Eternal moments lost from sight
