I woke up today and the world had changed
It didn’t seem so different yesterday, what was rearranged?
The grass is somehow more luscious, lush, and green
There are wildflowers and thick leaves in vivid hues to be seen
The air is hot and moist today with rays of brilliant sun
Everyone is joyous and finding new games of outdoor fun
It seems just a fortnight ago, the earth was awash with spring
Tiny seedlings and buds just opening, birds returning to sing
Wisps of gentle breezes, chilly nights with dew-kissed dawns
Now the stillness of fragrant air and the days have grown so long
The sweet whisper of gurgling brooks over heated rocks and stones
Quiet times of peace to relax, finding time to be alone
Not wanting to stir in the humid heat of sunlight
Drinking in the beauty of summer with glorious sights
I really enjoyed this. Nicely written.
Reminded me of a few days ago walking past a flower garden at the front of my building. The fragrances that wafted through the air were heavenly. And there, in the stillnesss of the evening, no sunlight needed to find my cheek, I felt the kiss of Summer. It was amazing.

What a wonderful summer tribute! It’s my favorite season of the year (although in Texas, the heat can kill you for sure).

I’ll be in Dallas in August for a convention. This pale redhead will stay put inside with the A.C. The humidity makes D.C. a pretty miserable place too in summer.
