TERRY LOWENSTEIN
A Kaleidoscope of Days

Yesterday open windows and screen doors
were as common as clothes on a line.

Summer meant hopscotch, 
bike riding or roller skating.
We savored ice cream, 
popsicles and picnics. 
The sun's haze wove magic.

Dreams rode soap bubbles 
that floated on laughter. 
Secrets were whispered 
among cousins who lived, 
just houses away.

Best friends shared 
pinwheel days of youthful energy,
and hours were busy 
as we tested our life's boundaries .

Then imagination ruled 
even as ice cubes melted in a glass,
and fireflies floated in the air.

Perhaps, this is why we didn't notice, 
the dog days of summer wag by.
