Summer

Drifting through the trees,
With a hint of summer breeze.

Birds fly high,
Up into the honey blue sky.

The smell of grapes and sunflowers fill the air,
The glossy shine of girl’s hair.

You can feel the heat,
Feel the ground burn beneath your tanned feet.

You run and prance,
Glad of the chance.

Because sun and heat,
Won’t last a beat.

You swear you can feel past ones beneath your feet,
Dancing with you in the summer heat.

You all dance in the same beat twirling and swirling,
 Your beautiful dress unfurling.

You laugh at the chance,
You and your partner take up arms and prance.

Its slow then fast,
It won’t last.

In the summer heat,
Everyone can feel the beat.

The next day you dance and dance,
Glad of the chance.

40 days pass and you know this one will be the last,
You dance and twirl incredibly fast.

At the end of the dance you say goodbye,
Even to the sunny sky.

Just as the bell rings,
The first sound of droplets sings.

You ask for 1 more chance,
And you dance.

Sunshine or no,
You won’t let the fun go.

So you dance in the rain,
And you let go of all the pain.
