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
