Envy - May 22, 2000

The pounding of the waves
echoes the beating of my heart
and I watched
the cries of the gulls
with hidden envy.



The summer breeze soothes me
and I dream
of the butterflies
that gather
amongst the field flowers.



No longer are my thoughts
for spring fancy
but turn to finding
something that lasts
beyond the summer nights.
