Notes About The Poem

Summer Song

Silent reflections fall on my heart Wonders so tender they remind me Love is alive all around me, kindness Smiling through the oaks and pines Lifting my heart from its musings Laughter so brilliant it sparkles Breaks through my sorrow and strife Coloring my hopes in deep lilac Providing a sense of assurance Melting all worry from my yearnings Whispers of serenity light my thoughts Singing praises to the Creator of life Awakening faith filled with grace, thriving With music sent down from angel’s harps Arousing my spirit to feelings so treasured Sunshine delights as it drifts on the sky Betraying the night with its breathless light Expressions of joy in waves of pleasure Flowing across the dawn in lemon yellow Breathless like a bird who chirps to morning Lovely dreams in hues of golden glory Fondle the moon with relief from darkness As colors of day drive away the nocturnal Painting love in prayers of wonder and awe Coasting across the borders of compassion This is the charming caress of a summer heart Adorning the affections in devotion and ardor Compelling elation to reach across the night Stir the brilliance of moon to close its thoughts Breathing life into the intensity of sunlight On the breath of a moment’s inspiration, rain Like dew on rose or hiding beneath a spider’s maze Drizzles, pouring out a blessing on those who know Even during the summer storm, there is opportunity For kindness that shades the heart in humility Summer risks being named the one who gives Beyond its heartfelt joy and unending pleasures To the heart of those who measure love by thanks Poured out from the soul who knows that this is The beginning of a season filled with contentment
