Mountain Laurels

Summer lingers  
Days still sunny and warm  
And time, it seems to crawl  
As seasons drift to fall  
Golden haze hangs over distant fields  
Thoughts of you slipping through the veil  
Of passing days and hours  
While trees hold green a moment more  
Mountain laurels dance  
By warm breeze swayed  
Beneath blue skies  
Laced with clouds  
And still beside the road  
Courses of wild flowers grow  
You're like them you know  
Unlooked for, beautiful  
Thoughts wherever I go  
 
We're like them  
We earthbound seekers of heaven  
Sun and moon  
Which mark the passing time  
Dreams and day dreams  
Save where sunlight merge with night  
Ours the twilight  
My light baths your softer glow  
Til we dissolve  
As shadows fall  
Those sometimes  
When stars like hearts align  
 
Let us summer one day more  
Tangled wild roses  
While butterflies flutter  
I would drink the dew of your kisses
