Boats On The Water

I watch boats on the water
as the sun sets
the waves causing unsteadiness
the heat of summer has come
leaving me wandering around
marveling at how the different
temperatures make me feel
changes my mental landsape
bringing light back into
my days after months of
darkness I am reminded
how much I love the sun
on my skin even when
I get burned
I mistake it for love
lose my mind a bit
get pulled under
only to return to
the surface
stand on the sidewalk
beside my car
watching life
continue on
feeling the warmth
of lingering light
in late June
