at dawn, we watched the sunrise

splashing colors on the day

and when it got too hot

we swam the afternoon away

at dusk, we danced in meadows

flecked with flashing fireflies

while zephyrs whispered secrets

under deepened azure skies

at night, we told tall tales

as we sat beneath the stars–

you, the goddess venus

and me, the man from mars
