Summer Seen

The sun burns bright over Summer seen.
Couture-rays of extended happiness shed
            no grateful rain in perfect paradise.

Flight of pumping legs and catching scent—
        uncontainable rush of God’s perfume.
Honeysuckle’d kids wholesome delight

in the oxygenated swinging space
                       where red and blue,
         and holy wings glide through
to glimpse of heaven and Summer’s wane.

Soon snow must surely fall from the sun
                         in dark and ice cold rays.

                         In Summer seen
                   and Summer’s wane,
                    let’s nudge each chin

                         left and right,
                            down and up.
                               Let green eyes
                                  know of paradise.
