Lizzie

I used to sit by the pool  Taking in the moment Time speckled with chlorine  And the swaying branches of trees  And wooden steps Eating ice cream  The sun filled my eyes  Casting yellow rays  Those were the days Those were the days

A circle of green hedgesAnd a squirrel Caresses With a soft blue quilt  Swaying high in the sky Like palm trees wilt In the sun and sighAnd lazy green grass Stretching for milesNo desireJust now and awhile
