Something Sweet ---------------------- A coin of light fell straight into the lake Our fingers laced above the rippling tide The moment came alive and would not break Hot, reckless, full ... we let the current guide The reeds around us played a quiet song And wrote our love where only we belong The cut hay filled the air with something sweet Dark flowers whispered secrets through the trees Our berry-colored lips would always meet And trade the kind of words that no one sees There was no morning coming, only now That July gave us everything, somehow Do you remember watching fire go out The dew came cool to kiss our resting feet You were my sun and harbour, without doubt In you alone my joy found a retreat The days flew past like horses in the field A fragile branch of summer, forced to yield But time is like a river with no end And summer turns to ash before the fall The cold comes back, a weight we cannot mend To silence what once rang between us all The cut hay filled the air with something sweet Our berry-colored lips would always meet Just sand in pockets, scent upon your sleeve All that the summer air would not retrieve --- "Something Sweet" Copyright © 2026 Rick n' Stolti.
