Summer Nights

It’s the twilight times and fireflies And the scent of jasmine fills the air, Birdsong echoes from the trees The sights and sounds of summer fair. Each day brings forth a new miracle And imagination spreads its wings to fly Spurring me to reach my spiritual pinnacle where eternal life awaits unwaveringly by. I wonder where all the years have gone by But then one wakes to: what good am I? Regretfully letting all the world go by— So now I turn my back and quietly lie. 08/08/20 ~Nature Rhyming Poetry contest ~Sponsor: Brenda Chiri
