Summer Nights

The longest day comes
Summer nights are soon passing
The moon is rising

I toss in my sleep
Waiting for the turquoise sky 
To turn a dark blue

There is a chill now
Rain, wind, and humidity
Worrying me here

Country drives restore
The Bracken will soon turn brown
I am not ready

I want to sleep soon
But my restlessness is strong
I must find my self

Before the Autumn 
Leaves fall upon on the crowded streets
And my dawn is noon

Interesting thoughts that you have penned..The longest day is soon the twenty-first then they start to shorten again..It would be nice if the cool weather would come with that change but not months more of this heat.. Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
