milky way

lyre notes without pause -
the summer breeze carries
me on the ocean

the whipped cream
topping on my cold coffee

slushy fruit punch
icing down my throat
as I swallow it

refreshed children
queue for the roller-coaster
at the water park

sunrise to sunset
sfumato of my daydreams

still climbing
the rainbow to reach
the perfect home
