THE CROWNING OF SUMMER

Folder: 
JOURNAL #27

magnificent morning sunlight

dousing pure the wind swept trees

God it seems is speaking to them

the afternoon grass

as inviting as green limes

greets the enrapt eyes

so lush and joyous

happy childhood moments

mentally address

the giggle some gale of the blue birds

chirping over head

Summer

glorious rainbow drenched summer

I've missed you so

your perfect light

and long lazy lavender skied evenings

even the feel of your mid day heat's fury

just like now

when the young gregarious children

are out laughing, singing and playing hardest

I've missed every familiar sight, smell, feel

and sound

and I am inebriated

by your early Return

even though I'm known to gripe every scorching July

in sweated disgust at the heat

still I always rejoice in your so welcomed return

when from us spring seeds her breezy chill too quietly

step back so you can take your highly rewarded chair

upon the seasonal throne

far sooner than the calender has appointed

for you truly are the king

dominating to rule over fall, winter and spring......
