a good day

I had fun today
learned to do a few new things
made a friend, maybe two
ate some good real food
pulled a mess of weeds
felt the sun warm on my back
drank a cold beer, IPA
worked out at the gym
took a shower, washed my hair
played guitar a couple hours
went down to check out the waves
filled my lungs with cool ocean breeze
watched the sun slip, slip, slip away
got real close to someone I love
I think she still likes me
eased into evening
underneath a lemon moon
and wrote this poem
just before I crawled between
cool crisp sheets
on my way to sleep
it was a good day
