The Rose of Summer

Hello full moon of Junes' Gemini Strawberry delicious You are the rose of summer to some I swim languorously on my back Floating up to you on earths' heated vapors Gliding through cotton ball clouds Mist swirling around my outstretched limbs I gaze up to see your dreamy round face Stars hidden by your luminescence I turn to submerge below your universal view Playing peek-a-boo with the maiden Her smile holding me through the night tide wirtten 6-17-2019

What a tribute to June's moon! I feel I am floating amongst the clouds, watching you languish in this wonderful relaxed state.
