Sweet Summer Serenity

Late afternoon walks on balmy summer evenings Nothing beats peppering raindrops lick licking my skin Icy droplets pelt down, the size of a pin Refresh like no other the heat from within So I walk and walk off the end of the day Feeling fresher and cooler every step of the way Clean aromas; damp earth and brick paving paths Sweet blooming flowers in lush green dewed grass It’s a feast of the senses, I’m inclined to say This is by far the best way to complete my day Sitting a while on the steps by the door I watch the sun setting, till Sol is no more The skies darken down to a dim coley black Luna’s taken front stage; her glittering cloak on her back She twinkles and shines while I bustle inside Her beauty forgotten, till thick curtains are brushed to the side Now lying in bed watching Luna’s soft light Slumber tugs at my eyes, drifting fantasies take flight But before I drop into Dreamland Goodnight … Goodnight 28.10.21
