Of Summer's Glow

As affection of summer’s glow expires 
    Winds bear upon us announcing autumn chill
I wonder the memories laid upon me still
           Before each thought of golden sun retires 

A breezy lush of fertile bloom still lingers
               As aqua mornings greet me with a sigh
With hummingbirds inviting me to fly
            And butterflies to dance upon my fingers

I long to hear the song of carefree chatter
                 On never ending sandy shores of pink
Continue through the harvest with a wink
                     As hopes of giddy reverie do flatter

I count the waves while salty air caresses
                        The sea to chant a lullaby in blue
To soothe the fears of autumn’s rendezvous	 
  My heart, while still in summer’s glow, confesses

This is so good Mike. I will miss summer, as it went too fast. Spring and Summer seem to be getting shorter! I was just thinking of buttercups the other day. Happy Tuesday :)
