Promise of Summer
Apr 18, 2022
When the grass grows green
and the tulips blossom
then will the sun riseWhen the sky is blue
and the trees spring new leaves
then will the sun riseWhen waves crash the shores
will the sun finally rise
forcing my teeth to form a smileOnce a caramel tone
coats my yellow skin
then will the sun riseOnce sand infiltrates
my wet wrinkled toes
then will the sun riseOnce pools fill my ears
will the sun finally rise
painting my cheeks with natural blushWhen planes leave the ground
and soar above clouds
then will the sun riseWhen vacation spots
join nameless families
then will the sun riseAnd when sun rises
will I then be happy
and let my heart, once frozen, melt?
