a song to follow

I  know it can't  be summer forever
these anonymous days will end soon 
and though today I talk of happiness
tomorrow we will plan a resistance 

with 
voices 
eyes 
hands

the breeze 
lifting 
us like joy 
(or dismay)

the world is so loud with trouble 
and yet we feel almost immortal 
spreading like rumors, we wade in
knowing there's still time to be taken

Pic: It's almost as if it will stay summer forever... I'm so grateful for sunshiny light, for things growing madly, and for bird visitors. And yet, the news out in the world continues to be so dire...
