Summer Days

Here it is the first day of June
indeed summer is truly now here
the dark clouds of winter have ceased
these bright blue skies are so clear

In Scotland this week it's so bright
sun is shining reaching 26C degrees
everyone's face is always smiling
so different from the past cold freeze

The sun lifts one's spirit high
puts inward glow within the heart
there's a joy in one's every step
filling one fully not just a part

One wishes for this the whole year
but then there would be no bearing fruit
we need all the years varied seasons
all the life's plants need begin at root

But we certainly do love our summer
it makes us feel so really very good
describing it can be hard to explain
but it's effect puts us in real good mood

(Just some thoughts as we had entered summer here in UK a couple of months ago and at least in Scotland the sun has decided to come out and celebrate with us though its never lasted.)

Very rich pictures and features ... here it is mostly summer ... from mid-April to mid June ... painfully scorching ... exhaustively humid ... then follows the rainy summer ... we have six distinct seasons with respective flora and fauna ... anyway, as usual enjoyed your poem ...

thanks Probir, must be hard to cope with your heat all the time, here in Scotland its very damp climate with some small points of sun in the summer. blessings, Gordon
