Summertime Splendor Has Come Again

Toes dipped in the emerald ocean so still, 
          I linger into the warm sunlight splendor. 
All my sadness departs and joy does fulfill,  
          my skin embraces the soft sand so tender. 

          Sangria sunsets arrive with pulchritude, 
I sense the calm from the cherry blossom trees.
          All those hotdogs and hamburgers barbequed, 
effortlessly my hair flows through the fresh breeze. 

No one can take away the equinox moon,
          nor keep my senses from feeling love and peace.
It’s the tune of a hummingbird in late June
          as I run through lavender fields with my niece. 

          Summertime has come again, and I’m enthralled.
The sun boasts from its heat rejuvenating
          all living things that nature neatly sprawled…
I know soon that Autumn chill will be waiting.
