Colors of Summer

The vivid colors of summer
Come flashing down at me
I can feel the summer  sun
Penetrating through my body
As though it were trying to 
Possess my very soul.


I lay on the softness of 
The moist  green grass 
The smell of the freshly
mowed lawn is intoxicating 
The sun gives the grass
A glistening hue of color.


As I read the words from 
The book of poetry in hand  
I feel beads of sweat dripping 
Down between my  breast 
I see the large cypress tree. 

That makes me think 
I should move under it 
Before I melt into the grass
I shield my eyes from the 
The brightness of the hot sun.

Though I so much enjoy 
The vivid colors of summer.
