A Summer Tune

Reminded of a summer tune I heard one summer’s day in June so long ago when life was raw and fresh eyes saw the things I saw I sat and pondered life and time and echoes of a life sublime I played that tune and journeyed back and listened to my own soundtrack The song evoked a sun filled sky as all the clouds had waved goodbye the sand was hot, my feet on fire an ice cold beer was my desire A Juke Box lured with satin sounds so I began to make my rounds I crossed the boardwalk, ushered in and let that velvet night begin The ocean’s memories still hold a wealth of stories yet untold but to this day, that song I hear recalls the sand and sun and beer
