For It Is Still Summer
Inhale a dawdle in hot days like these
The warmth of Summertime can still bring ease
Don’t hasten full speed to Autumn’s brisk nights
Feel the vehemence in the ardor breeze.
Azure oceans shall still embrace you, my sweet
In the eager pebbled shore dip your feet
The water is still fervid, so enjoy
the marvel of impetuous heat.
No pressure to move ahead to Autumn
Too soon after that Winter shall succumb
There’s still time for the sun to bestow cheer
And lend an ear to the Hummingbird’s hum.
Nurture your garden with relaxation
May the flourishing bring hope’s sensation
Keep your lilies blossomed for sweet nectar
Encompass yourself in God’s creation.
Don’t introduce your rake to nature yet
For it is still Summer, so don’t you fret
The leaves are not crimson or medallion
sense grace in the warm tangerine sunset.
