it is relieving again
to find myself in this particular space
with other people
who just want to be there too
for reasons none other than
enjoying each other
and in looking back on today there is an
ability to recognize that...
there's no pretense here
nothing so magnified
as the desire to channel the good
and weed out the bad
we are children by day and adults by night
forever young
but our heads slightly on
with the sun blazing down
on our shoulders
and seeping through tiny holes in my summer hat
there is laughter
and joy
that sometimes I thought I had forgotten
well, it is nice
to immerse myself in the good pool now
and not the bad.
