Summer Song

Drifting in a memory
of rolling distant hills
stretched out like a waveless ocean of green
the sun blazing way up high 
In the stillness of a languid sky
 
Wandering in the dusty thoughts
of dried up ponds and lanes
bordering hedgerows offering their wares
of treasure shyly peering
a meandering cache suddenly disappearing  
 
Arising in the sweet scented bouquet
Colours of childhood dance
and sing into the breeze
Friuts of summer fall, flowing like a banquet
Take a drink from natures never ending Goblet 

Lowly under the shade of the spreading oak
The meadowlark shares his sweet call
as perccusive swaying grasses unite
to fill the air with melody so mellisonant 
Cordial thoughts of summers reminiscence

You now what would be NEAT.......take a look at my poem My Summer Mistress and THEN we intertwine one poem verse to the other. That would be a read and a half. Love you passion! Irish
