August Treasures

Under the humid air 
I sit, on my lofty rock and stare 
as warm summer heat rises 
I look toward the burning horizon 

Butterflies dance by together, 
enjoying the sultry August weather.
While nearby sprinklers twirl 
and pinwheels whirl.

A breeze gently wisps across my skin 
as birds fly by, weaving out and in.
Settling on a limb to rest and sing 
before ruffling feathers and taking wing.

Bright with summer's flowers
Adorn my garden bower 
with intoxicating smells 
of magnolia, wisteria and bluebells 

Some of August's simple treasures 
brings the most delightful pleasures.
