Strawberry Wings


I remember my mother taking my sisters and I to our neighbors farm to pick strawberries. It was supposed to be a chore, but it never felt that way. Sunshine, laughter, and popping as many strawberries in my mouth as in the pail was magical. 

Sun deep in strawberries,
lips tinted red, and a bucket
begging berries, I turn
a chore into summer playtime.

Memories gather on white
puffy clouds where tomorrow
can read them, and today
is oblivious of tears on the horizon.

It is a butterfly moment of growing
wings in giggles, and feeling freedom
speak from the dirt between my toes.
United with sky and earth I soar.
