Earlier today, before the dusk ...

I looked up above to quite a fuss

The sky was layered with many lemon puffs

All across a vanilla bed begging for touch



I ran the tip of my tongue over my lips ...

Tasting lemon merengue and whipped cream twists

It felt so light and airy up there in that sky ...

I wondered if it would always be so high



I vowed the next time I saw that special blend

I'd attempt to repeat those lines without end ...

Creating my own special lemon-merengue delight

Topped with those same cream puffs so wonderfully bright
