Summer sun tickling your skin,

gentle wind caressing your hair;

you're the best you've ever been,

laying your soul bare.

Singing of the faraway seas

keeps your blood burning;

you're a breath away from peace

when the world stops turning.

Fresh air fills your lungs with longing

as your eyes overflow and your heart bursts

and you know now you need nothing

else to quench your ravenous thirst.

You're smiling wide

even as hot tears slide down your face

because you feel so right

occupying this timeless space.

Your mind is quiet

like it hasn't been in so long,

thoughts no more a riot,

knowing you belong.
