The scent of sweetgrass wrapped us

In a comfortable midsummer cocoon.

I glanced at you, asleep and smiling

Lying in the grass

 

In a comfortable midsummer cocoon

Laughter and a kiss took over

Lying in the grass

One kiss stopped time

 

Laughter and a kiss took over

Hidden beneath a sleeping bag

One kiss stopped time

Surrounded by the gentle song

 

Hidden beneath a sleeping bag

Teasing that I secretly loved.

Surrounded by the gentle song

I let the memory burn into my mind.

 

Teasing that I secretly loved

As I tossed and turned that night

I let the memory burn into my mind

Alone and shivering on the floor

 

As I tossed and turned that night

The scent of sweetgrass enveloped my thoughts

Alone and shivering on the floor I remembered

You, asleep and smiling.
