Doelette

it was like a movie scene

with strawberry shortcake 

and fresh whipped cream

set between the end of a sunset 

as light shined through the trees

and amidst the leaves it beamed 

lying down on a blanket with

feet tucked under our knees

to the background music

we both would sing,

“Strawberries, cherries, 

and an angel’s kiss in spring.”

I'll tell you, "Goodnight."

before you fall asleep

and when you wake up 

soon from this dream

I hope you remember our picnic

and the memories that bring

a euphoric-like high

when we are happy
