A Summer Breeze

I’m all alone now he is gone, but there’s a star to wish upon. And as I wish, I feel a breeze that whispers through the verdent trees I listen to its murmuring, then close my eyes, imagining that I’m that breeze. Oh, silver star, transform me; let me travel far! To travel where my love might be - Star, will you grant this wish to me? Please guide me that I’ll find my way to where my love has gone to stay. Chorus: A summer breeze, with tenderness I’ll touch his face with my caress, and while I’m lingering nearby, he’ll hear the yearning in my sigh. Yes, Star above me, hear my plea. A summer breeze I long to be. No star or moon with lovely glow. I need to move; I need to flow. His body and his precious face I’ll wrap within my soothing grace. The only man that I adore - Star, let me touch him just once more. A scent of jasmine I will bring. Perhaps he’ll be remembering perfume I wore when he was mine, and love was simple yet divine. Chorus: A summer breeze, with tenderness I’ll touch his face with my caress, and while I’m lingering nearby, he’ll hear the yearning in my sigh. Repeat Chorus Finale: My touch, my scent, my lonesome sigh. Oh, why did he ever have to say goodbye! Aug. 10, 2018 for John Hamilton's 'Summer Breeze' Poetry Contest
