Summers Heat

Summers Heat Golden hills swelling beneath summer’s hand Nurturing the seed planted by winter; Dozing beneath sultry heat – hot sighs on land; Rising-falling breaths – covenant shivers. Round hills remembering the ecstasy Quivering in lacy webs of moonbeams Frozen springs released in sweet fantasy Opened wide the fertile space – seeding dreams. In perfect union now the rhythm flows No desire for release from Heaven’s climes; Two now one feel the perfect movement grow Hearing a new heartbeat for the first time. Bounty born from abundant womb so mild - Giving to autumn’s hand - honey hued child. 6-1-20

"Quivering in lacy webs of moonbeams"... awesome imagery throughout your sonnet, dear friend. The arc of a year, from remembering frozen springs of winter to seeding dreams in spring through a loving conception and first hearing of that precious heartbeat, to "autumn's hand - honey hued child". Love this so much, Sam!
