the beauty of today-

white doves and boats

long walks with folks

family finally reunited

15 years too long

silent and deadly

time speeds on

shades of gray

shadowing our sky

moved along

to glitter our sweat

and to sweeten our tooth  

for ice creams

to melt

for innocence

to be felt

again and

the wind whistled through the trees

and the trees whispered shhh

and it brushed our hair

and cooled our cheeks

and that

the beauty of today
