"Again, I smile to myself..."
Again, I smile to myself
While reading poetry aloud.
The world is beautiful - it swells
With every single spoken sound.
The cotton-candy clouds melt
And let the sun shine through.
This all began the day I fell -
Headfirst - in love with you.
The cardinal won’t end his song
Until the moon emerges
And every birch’s unique among
A dozen other birches.
The sunset sky is tangerine
With just a dash of cherry.
Let’s ride our bikes to Dairy Queen
Across the cemetery.
