Summer Breeze

We gather round as the musician plays
   Playing melodies of bygone days
 Some people start singing aloud
  As each new tune gathers the crowd

  Summer breeze caresses with her song
 Floating on the rhythm with warm embrace
  Lifting me higher as clouds sail along
 My fragrant rose in beauty's grace

 I hold her hand as she hums to the beat
  To the soulful melodies of a saxophone
  Which reverberate through city streets
  The weekend's here, how time has flown
 
 Summer breeze caresses with her song
  Floating on the rhythm with warm embrace
 Lifting me higher as clouds sail along
  My fragrant rose in beauty's grace
                       ~
