The earth tilts for me

 The earth tilts for me to make the days just

A few moments longer and brighter

So you and I can laze in golden sun 

As it dips and just flirts with horizon


The edge of the world seems too close

And too far--my calves grow fat with the seeking

 Of light that glows true--there are no shadows here

And no secrets we tell just for keeping


The sun whispers stories of light just for me

The summer hangs ripe with their promise

I'll lay butterfly kisses along your soft cheeks

And the days just get longer and longer
