Shimmering All in Wet
Buzz of the sunshine on your face
Blanket on the grass
In the world’s most finest place
This moment will never pass
Hint of grass smell on the swish
Lifting of the leaves
Sat so still and so serene
This moment will never leave
Subtle sound of rustling leaf
Ice cold lemonade
So refreshed and drenched in peace
This moment will never trade
Dainty sips of été - cold
Closed are your eyes
So awake but so unconscious
This moment starts to compromise
Trickles trail down tracks of your back
The sun still shines on
Petrichor of rain now gone
This moment starts to con
Chugging, spilling, drip - dropping chill
Day utter spoiled
Shine hides behind clouds of shame
Kettle sloshing boiled
Lonely days with heated mugs
Tartan blankets too
Pathetic drizzle preventing
With nothing much to do
Crack opens up to reveal a sphere
With such great magic
To see the miserable world
Except what it saw was not tragic
Oh to think such a sunny day
Ruined by a threat
Could turn out so magical
When shimmering all in wet
