Summertime

Over pools the gnats are dancing in the summer suns romancing heart out burning heat – what ever could a sick mans lonesome fever cool and take away the sorrow of an even worst tomorrow In desperate hours time goes by alone I stand don’t ask me why the nights are short and days too long when sad thoughts grow I am not strong not strong enough to feel the bright too weak to bear distressing might Too short is night to hold away the nightmares they release their lair and come to daylight come to live search me a shelter where to dive is safe from frightening feelings face find me a hide a peaceful place
