Summer Tale

Daytime,sunshine...crystal clear burning through clear blue atmosphere Tanning laserays of light Ignite solar candled lantern aisles by night Silent meadows and sheep grazed pastures bare Summer's yield matching colors grown in pairs Travelers' eyes steal glimpses of the ancient surreal Clever celestial timing ,ensures summer's perfect weather Past summers remembered My skin sunburned tender Its old age hastened ,its healing's slow,yet I've patience Horizon gaze ,wading shallow shore waves cold and curing,my sunburn tamed Sand impressions proof of my presence Vanishes as saltwater tides retreat Forming rythmic swells, cleansing sand,fine as snow,each grain unique Potential their essence Each memory ,an impassionate impression Resolves imaginitive questions Sacred memories remain life's essence An unresisted inclination to explore its endless trails is ignored by wiser travelers who retire near crossroad trails each day's passage,treasured memory for nostalgic tales Blond sunlight through graying skies pale Dark as dusk,sunlight's cloaked in an expanding veil As distant thunder grew near,cooling air held an odor of ionized rain As electrical glimmers lit skies dark as eve which shadowed verdant plains Camera eyes skygazing dusk to morn Canvas skylight's color transformed Night darkness followed ,silence filled this vast woods hollow Heaven's light shone pale through eve's black veil Pearl moonbeams and crystal starlight invite Passage through dark meadow trails An ancient summer tale , Eyes photographed evenings past As morning passed Harsh molten light shone through thinning cloud mass Burning fine white sand ,each grain...fire glass Verdant flowerfields ,summer's pretty yield Camera eyes steal as autumn's shades are revealed
