joy

i wiggle my toes and sand slides down a note of song
sweetly sung scuffed knees
roll down the soft green smell of dew sparkles
yellow sneakers and a lime green popsicle
faded orange smiles
linger in a chipped tooth of adventure
stretched out across a summer sky.

    Really there should be some way that you could bottle all the joy that is just OVERFLOWING this post & sell it. Although I am more than happy that you are giving it away free & I am here with both hands open, scooping it all up. Thank you! :) This image is so, so full of happiness - as full of happiness as your words are full of summer bliss!

    Evocative. This puts me in mind of Alela Diane and the way she uses words in her songs. :)
