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 :)

Thanks Heidi, Summer is my favorite and it is always too short for me but I agree, this year it rained so much that half of it I could not be outside and enjoy it, Oh Well !! xxoo
