Summer Mist

An elegant pastel mirage
lays out upon the highly trodden road
teasing child-like naive eyes
to believe in underwater ballrooms,
a merman's ballad of his bubbly love.

Talkative airy lanterns smile
as the noble woman waltzes past
with fair nose proud and high
tilting hat a true extravaganza
that bows quickly to Fredrickson's horse.

If only warm pleasant rain could forever spray
and lift our realistic minds unto rainbow thoughts.
