Our Summer Place


Do you know what my dream is right this minute

That it was you and me
leaving in the morning for a week of bliss up north or
east or west or south

that it was you and me
sitting and reading on the deck together
that it was you and me
taking boat rides to watch the clouds roll by

that it was you and me
running laughing through the woods
that it was you and me
laying under the stars outside ~ wishing on each one
that it was you and me
waking up in the fresh morning breeze...holding each other

maybe...one day


yes.. oh yes...sweet one...
one day...

waking to the songs of the birds
walking along the edge of the lake as the morning mist
lifted to reveal the mirror smooth surface ready to
reflect the morning sun

listening to leaves as they rustle in the
morning breeze
smelling the sweet wildflowers that have made their bed
in the lush carpet of moss on the forest floor
meeting eye to eye with the deer that came to eat the
corn we left for her the night before

walking the trail to far side of the lake and looking
back to see the smoke rising from the stone fireplace
of the cabin
gently rising to dance with the clouds

watching the beavers as they drag another limb to the dam
watching the minnows dart beneath the foot bridge
going wild as we toss them a bit of bread
watching the hummingbird as it "buzzes" past our heads
to the feeder filled with ruby-red-nectar

watching the sunlight dance through the leaves of
the white birch
listening to the cry of the loon
watching the bald-eagle soar overhead
feeling so free
and best of all ...being with you
and you being with me
