my fingers are glazed

with the caress of it

the slanting sunlight

that pierces through

these wide windows

my skin feels at rest

under its soft touch

this warmth of love

radiance of Nature

that kisses me lightly

are you a beam of it

the light of the sun

that invades my room

and envelopes it all

in a golden embrace

as i see you in the day

that is clear as the sky

my voice is a whisper

for i don't want to lose

this slow sunlit dream

so i look at you all lit

in the essence of sun

and this gold melts

to water in your eyes

weaving golden lies

we're basking in it

the kiss of summer

and i drink all of it

you and the sunlight

for it's the beginnin'

the beginning of us

and the summer too

so my eyes stay open

as a bewildered deer

lookin' at the sunrise

sun's just comin' out

i keep my eyes open

for it's way too early

to blink and lose it all

to a winter that waits

inevitably waits for

this summer to end

in its so cold arms

for me to wake up

and find you gone
