Beneath the August Tempo

Beneath the August tempo a lovely summer day 
 and a tantalizing breeze of a million flower-sway 
 Green and verdant pastures pushing up so spry 
 touching lofty candors of heaven nigh and nigh ; 

Its an eyelet pure and simple sending such a thrill 
 flowers potted in the soil, blooming fast at will 
 Beneath the August tempo a lovely summer day 
 and a trembling rose of valor chasing blues away 

Skies with milky shades of white and crayon blue 
 drinking up the heat and pouring beauty'-spew 
 Mountains proud and tall echoed with enthrall 
 sending me a shiver while standing straight n' tall 

Before the day is done I want to refuge by the forest 
 as the eagle flies the summit with a call of deep unrest 
 Pick a branch inhale the odor of an odorous lament 
 beneath the August tempo, I groove my carven tent .
