An Evening By The Pool
There is nothing more satisfying
Than the feel of the day’s end
When the sun has beamed down
Tanning my skin, bringing out my freckles
With the taste of salt and sweat lingering
A plate full of fruits and crisp vegetables
Giving a nice treatful, crisp bite by the pool
The lazy, hazy days of summer have arrived
Wild, curly hair and sun-kissed shoulders
Watching the sun sink into a cotton candy sky
Driving along, Sledgehammer, by Peter Gabriel
Plays on the radio, in the background
Like a collect call winding back the clock
Reminding us of a different time
Calling us back in to
A place we wish we could
Forever call home.
