Summer's Breath
A warm breeze gently lifts the white voile
I watch it dance from across the room where I lay
Half awake, and recovered from yesterday’s toil
I’m awakened to the smell of an early summer’s day
Honey suckle makes its heightened presence known
As it thickens the air with pungent perfume
Soft, sunrays through the opened window shone
Casting shadows of climbing ivy in costume
While a brilliant blue sky steals its golden hue
Bids me arise; take in the beauty all around
Endless sunrises and sunsets, to pursue
When again the world seems young and life more profound
I hear the ocean’s call through the wind, ’come home’
Our long-distance love affair still growing strong
It makes no difference where these feet may roam
Come summer or winter love endures it can’t be wrong
