If I could stretch out the summer
on a clothesline, I would hang
each piece of clothing neatly
and lovingly, for each piece
is a precious moment to cherish…
I would first peg the sunrises
with hues of tangerine and gold,
and their gentle glow
kissing the horizon…
Next would be the swimsuits,
a reminder of play, splashing in
waters cool and clear
underneath a vast umbrella of sky.
Then the sundresses of lazy afternoons,
woven with scents of blooming flowers,
and the tender touch of a gentle breeze
to bring relief to those hot…hot days.
I would pin the laughter of children
like colorful shirts flapping
in the breeze as they echo
through my summer days…
Then I would carefully drape
the moonlit nights,
with their delicate lace of silver
and blue and their soft glow
weaving dreams of stardust.
If I could stretch out the summer
on a clothesline, I would hang
each piece of clothing neatly
and lovingly, for each piece
is a precious moment to cherish…
