Its Summer and Its Pleasing

It`s summer and it`s pleasing
           in 12 shades of green.
           I think i`ll go fishing
           or maybe just dream.
           In a trillium forest
           by a trout lily stream,
           or a white daisy meadow
           where the waters run clean.

           It`s summer and it`s pleasing
           and i`ve no where to be.
           With my shovel and pail
           think i`ll go to the beach.
           and walk through sand castles
           dip my toes in the sea,
           roll in the swells
           that blanket the deep.

           It`s summer and it`s pleasing
           and it`s good to be free.
           just to hang upside down
           like a kite in a tree.
           Fall through the sunlight
           softened by leaves,
           drop to my hammock
           with a good mystery.

           It`s summer and it`s pleasing
           and i`ve no want or need.
           Think i`ll sit in my garden
           as the glories drop seed.
           Rejoice with the bluebird
           high atop the elm tree,
           lie back in soft clover
           point to clouds with my feet.

           It`s summer and it`s evening
           no desire to sleep.
           On a night strung with diamonds
           over firefly blinks.
           Symphonic crickets
           and peepers that peep,
           as a moth named Magoo,
           bumps it`s head on the screens.
