Summer

Parties, late nights
No school, it's cool
How could we want more than this?

No worries, no cares, no stressing
Nothing to tear us from this game
Hide and Seek, with Responsibility

Carefree, nowhere to be
We have nothing holding us back
It's about us for once

We can relax, breathe, just be us
We can stay out late and make mistakes
Because who's going to stop us?

Day and night blend
We see the sun go down and come up
And we grow.

All I've learned
All I've forgotten
Here's to Summer.

I've learned ...

I've learned ... that a single rose says novels more than a dozen.
I've learned ... the art of rubbing things in people's faces.
I've learned ... to make up my own words.
I've learned ... the thrill of having something before everyone else.
I've learned ... that hand-me-down sweaters come factory with healing powers.
I've learned ... that no matter how much of your teenage life you spend wishing you were somewhere else, you'll end up missing home eventually.
I've learned ... to dance to the beat of my own tambourine.
I've learned ... that life never doesn't throw you a curve ball.
I've learned ... that Spell Check is often slightly dumber than we give it credit for.
I've learned ... that Wikipedia has all the answers to Life's questions.
I've learned ... that your clock reading 4:47 a.m. is not an excuse to go to bed, although it is a very mature and responsible way of reminding you.
I've learned ... that I'm not the only one that still sleeps with a teddy.
I've learned ... to colour outside the lines. And man, I've gone pro.
I've learned ... that proper grammar is overrated and for soap operas.
I've learned ... that the amount of minutes you set your clocks ahead by should be equal to the amount of minutes it takes you to get to work plus four.

Morning Song

You are now friends with 5 a.m.
The sun rises in full brilliance
Majestically prowling over the earth

Night is gone ... for now.
Resting stars will soon return
Moonbeams will dance once more

But for now, just the sun
The sun glowing red
orange
yellow
And the sky, an indigo blanket
A fresh dew glistening on the grass
Each little drop perfect

Good morning, Morning
It's been a while :)
