Bye bye bye summer,
we'll meet again 9 months from now,
when spring brings you forth.

*~*~*

Waiting for the mail,
patience is not my virtue,
when will it arrive?

and have no sea legs.

Musing, I watched lint
flitter like tiny winglets
in hazy sunlight
The world was fair in Durin's Day

Long silence speaks loud
Of another universe
Stealing us from home...

The dreams I lived here
Come flooding back like sunlight
Reborn after storm.
