Summer has sadness sometimes
Is this smile on my face,
Company for my tears of joy?
Thought it was rain beating down on my shoelace.
Memories washing my cheeks.
“Ahoy”,
They sing,
As the voyage continues beyond my place.
I might linger a while longer,
In case anyone sees my pearly gates.
Wide and berthing,
Today was a blessing,
No reason other than a random act of grace.
Complex emotions,
Some days are random attacks of grey.
I feared the summertime sadness,
But maybe spring could remind me,
Not everyday's blue.
Happy memories distract me from summertime,
And from you.
