fire in the sky

I remember a night in early summer
the sparrows were swirling
the sky lit up with such intensity
we laid on our backs...just watching
just present

bookending the summer
tonight's sky was the same...

sparrows still playful up above
and the geese joining in, soaring high on their way somewhere far
if we only would have known all that would happen, all that could happen, in just a summer
and still
just present
and holding tight
