I long for freedom
Grass between my toes
And wind running like finger though my hair

I long for happiness
The palpable warmth of the sun
Beating on my exposed shoulders

I long for freshness
Cool coastal breeze awakening my soul
Bringing salt water memories into my mind

I long for care-free being
Knowing today is whatever we make of it
Life is limitless, no barriers needed

I long for you, summer
The frostbitten December air awakens me
And my sweet dreams have dissolved
Kept fantasy for six more long months
