  • Honey-lit Afternoon

    Dreams of a honey lit aspen afternoon
    Smiles full of laughter
    Trying to keep a straight face
    Lost in the reality of it…
    In the simplicity of your dignity and grace

    Coming off the mountain
    And meandering off the desert mesa
    With you nearly by my side
    On a sunny summer afternoon
    Singing folks songs…

    And I look back on it all
    And it all comes back to me
    In the moment
