My Favorite Time of Day
I wrote this one for Teresa B, my roommate, for those timeswhen we just sit around and stare at eachother.

Lazy afternoons
    are my favorite time of Day
Basking in the heat
    letting time slip away
          here I lay
          and here I'll stay
          Tomorrow is another Day
          Sun beating down
          Clouds drifting high
          no need for worry
          'til Autumn creeps nigh
Away from the pain
of everyday life
no stress,
no strain,
no war--no strife
Days like these should last all year
then no one in the world
would taste of fear
Yet then where could reason possibly be
to let you fall in love with me?
     if forever content
     no need to repent
     as purpose drifts away
          I'd rather a heavy burden bear
          than no rampant emotion share
But this is still my favorite time of day.
