My Tantalizing Summer

The long full days of golden light draws me out to see lovely late evenings I welcome you along with me, to glimpse Summers magical dance My tantalizing list of perfect things to see and do in June, July and August Hear the cry of hawks above my head, circling ever closer. The hoot of the owl from the backyard tree as evening falls The rambling of the deer, the chirp of a robin The chatter of a Stellar jay come to eat at my tray Intoxicating garden smells of lavender, mint and roses Fresh turned dirt and warm cleansing summer rains Double rainbows over verdant hills of green grass The glacier glowing above us all, snow melting BBQ’s and picnics at the beach, with friends and family Gathered around the campfire glowing, marshmallow Pillows on a stick, all melty, gooey. Toasted goodness Oozing on a dark chocolate square with grahams City parks full of music concert melodies drifting high on warm sultry currents swirling though our heads Farmers market Saturdays picking treats for the week 4th of July parades with horses prancing and bands toot, tooting Starry skies of cobalt blue sparkling like diamonds aglow Fairy dust trails of comets and stars falling to earth Watching the moons first kiss as the maiden smiles serenely A sliver slice to full light of sweet summer bliss Sunset vistas of such beauty as to fill my soul with energy The wonder of possibilities. Sitting quietly, holding hands, as day comes to close, counting my many blessings and my love of summer’s unique gifts and joys
