on this summer day


the cat is sleeping in the living room
like he always does
tail moving, body still
all is peaceful with his paws
and I sit in the kitchen
time is racing down the hill
I will be sleeping, too
although it's against my will

all is gentle on this day
everything's within my grasp
I feel the best I ever have
it's too bad it doesn't last
but for now I'm feeling good
if you don't count my worries
I am taking my sweet time
I am not in a hurry

          nothing is happening
          all is calm
          what more can I say?
          time to lay out
          on the front lawn
          on this summer day

when winter comes, I will be warm
if only in my memories
temperature is doing fine
low 80s and high 70s
I will take the season as it comes
to take hold of my senses
I will hold onto every day
and live in present tenses

          nothing is happening
          all is calm
          what more can I say?
          time to lay out
          on the front lawn
          on this summer day
