charming

easily rocking
patches collage and collide
displaying shadows from the hammock above
abandoned in favor of cool, dark grass.

casually, leisurely
words strolling by on the page
lives and relationships
created and illuminated
by mid-afternoon sunlight

interrupted by easy footsteps
blocking the sun
and laying down a bowl of strawberries.

reaching into the pale blue bowl
expansion of flavor
red stories made sweeter
by the kindness of a charming young man
delight in good fruit
