The Beauty of Summer

As days become longer
Warm air blankets our skin
The sky feels more open
Something new is to begin.

What could be anything
Our destiny unknown
In the air is a freshness
New souls will be born.

With each moment singing
It's own unique tune
The open seas lift us up
We become one with the moon.

To laugh, breathe
Love and simply be
The beauty of summer
When we are happy and carefree.

I can never find proper words to express how much I love summer and I always have. Your closing stanza in this fine piece reminds me of my youth and my love of the sun my friend. A7

Hi Lynn, a beautiful summer song comes from your pen. This is excellent soft poetry, soft like the summer itself. The visions come through so clearly, the sun is surely smiling. This one did come from the heart Lynn. Have a good day. This is a definite seven. Hugs....Mike. XX

My favorite line is "being one with the moon." Enjoyed reading your pleasant and peaceful poem of summer, Lynn. Fall is just around the corner and the leaves are already changing here.
