PPQ: Feeling Summer

Feeling Summer

©Mariah Smile

Lightning bugs shared their glow

In the back yard that night

Blankets on the dewey grass

People scattered in my sight

Beautiful smell of the barbeque

Fireworks in the air

Laying on the ground, looking up

At the stars, my feet are bare

I felt your hand clasp in mine

But we didn’t say a word

The paper lanterns in the wind

Was the only sound we heard
