Seasonings

                        Summer twilight dawns an evening crown
            surfers lounged alongside boards, lain atop cooling sands
chatter swapped to suggestive feeble snores, true lifers naught workers
cresting ripples o'er sandy shore molded whimsy sandcastles to mounds

                        Trivial zephyr abroad builds, tapping cliffs
sweeping inland indulging effortlessly till slighted by few existing shanties 
heeding opened windows lissome brushes, tonal effects quietude to life

      September morn declares its golden hues to arrest savoring eyes
            yellow accents twirling oranges respite alongside crumpled reds
                        vibrant picturesque displays an artisans portrait

Mobility afoot, gathering sorts of the anticipating talented, fervid hunch
            transitions a time as creation spurs onward whilst we embellish
      capturing the day as it occasions
                        our pleasure, we fail ... pleasing Him, our reward.
