living softly...but with a voice

"if I had a whole day to do whatever I wanted to do"

~~

wait

"a day to do whatever I wanted"

describes almost every day I've had this summer

so I'm not complaining

but

unfortunately I wasted a few of them doing laundry that could have waited

making phone calls that weren't important

and

watching movies I've already seen

when

I should have been out living a bit more

~~

summer runs away so quickly and I spend hours looking over my shoulder

wondering where it went

when the days start to get shorter

so

for the rest of this summer

I'm going to be living

a bit more openly

a bit louder

and

maybe

even

a bit more wild

~~

because

I'm feeling awake and alive and curious

and

I don't want to miss a thing
