A patch of green grass
amidst a field of sunflowers
a bright sun shining overhead
is the only way to count the hours
our basket is open
our blanket is spread
a cool breeze dances
through the hairs on our head
we feed each other grapes
bananas pineapples and pears
nothing belongs to one of us
everything is shared
tortilla chips and pita
which we dip in guacamole and hummus
as we listen to the sounds of life
and share the air with the creatures among us
bunny grahams for dessert
the cute little fellas
hopping across the blanket
and into the nutella
when the meal is done
and we’ve eaten our share
we’ll lay down together
and breath the cool evening air
we’ll watch the day descend
and paint it’s sunset in the sky
and then we’ll find our light
from our friends the fireflies
we’ll say “thanks for the light,
you guys are the best”
and then our fingers will lock
and your head will move to my chest
And we’ll lie and take in
the stars in the sky
until a syzygystic force draws
your eyes to meet mine
and we’ll start a new story
one that doesn’t need words
for we’ll be the only characters
and we need but one single verb
