A Summer Wind

A Summer Wind

  

 

A summer wind

Hot off the shelf of the new season

Lazy days

Soaking up the sun on the soft sand

Watching the surf at the ocean’s edge

 

Pretending to read

While dozing in a hammock

Afternoon lassitude

Taking hold of your hand

Leading to peaceful meditation

 

Quiet moments

To surrender and reflect on birds chirping

Flowers blooming

A season of bounty and tall green grass

Making music in the summer breeze

 

A summer rain

Droplets in the trees tapping a rhythm

Of unknown melodies

A gentle lullaby to cool the day

Brought by a summer wind
