Summer At Last

Upon the sand that adorns the shores, Sit the children who watch their kites soar, The sounds of glee loud as the sea, The shrills of pelicans as they flee Amidst the blazing sun, Sitting through the summer thunderstorms has begun, The signs of the sky, before the clouds cry. The sight of the rain is cherished by the eye. My back brushes against the tall grass, The swaying marigolds brought a twinkle on my face at a glance, I felt the warmth on my skin, The heat was a warm hug from within. The hikes of summer are long and weary, The ethereal landscape makes me teary. Biting into a juicy watermelon is as delightful as being in a warm bed when it's pouring rain. The memories of summer will always remain. As I float across the ocean, I can taste the salt on my lips, it is like a potion. Running through the shallow water, I feel pulled back to the tide, It is as if the ocean is inviting me for a ride A day spent beneath the sun is truly beautiful, Laying next to the sounds of splashes and laughter is irrefutable. I hoped summer would everlast, For it is summer at last
