Summer Breeze

Listen to poem:

~The sunrise makes me happy, shining on my face,
and I don’t feel so lonely, in its warm embrace. 
I can see her dancing, on the sandy beach,
reaching out to touch me in the cool summer breeze.
     
    Though I can’t see tomorrow, I can see forever,
    I don’t need forever just another day.
    I can see her laughing, I can see her near me,
    summer breeze, oh summer breeze, keep blowing my way.

The warm wind sings so softly its sweet summer song,
the summer breeze calls to me as I walk along. 
I can hear her whispers blowing through the trees,
calling me, oh calling me, in the soft summer breeze.

                             ~riff~       
               
The summer sun fades softly to an evening sky
passing on its sunlight to a new sunrise.
I can hear her melody ringing through the night,
sing to me, oh sing to me... till the morning light.
   
    Though I can’t hear tomorrow, I can hear forever,
    but I don’t want forever, just another day.
    I can hear her heartbeat, I can hear her near me,
    summer breeze, sweet summer breeze, keep blowing my way.

    I can feel her heartbeat, I just want her near me now,
    summer breeze, please summer breeze, keep blowing my way.

Susan Ashley Date: 9/20/2025 7:46:00 PM Dear Mark, this poetic package, the lyrics, vocals and musical accompaniment, is beautiful, captivating and poignant. I especially adore “summer sun fades softly to an evening sky/passing on its sunlight to a new sunrise”. I seem to remember this lyric gem, was it posted previously or is it just my imagination? Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan Login to Reply Susan Ashley Date: 9/23/2025 8:30:00 AM Yes, I remember your version and I remember thinking it was soulful and beautiful.. as wonderful as this is, I think your version was indeed better Mark Massey Date: 9/23/2025 6:56:00 AM Yes, it’s an older one. I had removed it but put it back thinking I might put it in Mark’s contest…not sure yet. I’m flattered that you remembered it. I took myself singing and playing it down and put up an AI vocal. As bad as mine was, I think I still like it better.
