I sit here staring at the sky <br />as calm waves rock the boat <br />no better feeling in the world <br />than to sit right here and float <br /> <br />my glasses blocking out the rays <br />that beam down on my skin <br />the clouds that line the bright blue sky <br />are whispy, white, and thin <br /> <br />another summer day drifts by <br />on the sandbar of Torch Lake <br />my friends and i are full of life, <br />content, and wide awake <br /> <br />I stand and find a clear blue spot, <br />inhale and take the plunge <br />soaking up the hapiness <br />like some type of sea sponge <br /> <br />I'm welcomed by the cool, kind waves <br />I feel like i belong <br />like I've found the place i need to be <br />and have looked for all along <br /> <br />somewhere beween the happiness <br />and waves so crystal clear <br />the joy just overthrows me <br />and diminishes my fears <br /> <br />seconds transform in to minutes <br />and minutes yield to hours <br />I put my busy life on hold <br />to stop and smell the flowers <br /> <br />when the day is drawing to and end <br />and the sun beams shine their last <br />this perfect day of harmony <br />has become part of my past <br /> <br />another school year rolls around <br />with choices i must make <br />and all the while i sit here <br />just dreaming of Torch Lake<br /><br />E.A.
