To the World

Diane James 2000 (Athens)

July 22 
Free verse
Green
All around
Purple
How I love the sound
Of the evening rain

The water slips through my fingers
The feeling of wetness lingers
How I love the ocean’s breeze

Shooting star
I make a wish
To the one who can hear
To grant me one more day
Of my world to feel

Bonfire
Smell of the ash
S'mores on the stick
Melting fast

Never enough words
To describe my world
