Remember when
the crisp cool, morning
deep blue sky
infused its light clear
through your veins
sharpened memory
in the walking with
the happy heart of robins
feeding on the grass
its growth sound
hop, hopping hope
careless energy
expanding lungs
the day�s intense quick eyes
singing sweet time
to be alive before
the weekly woes
of a furrowed future
brought burdens
to the soil.
