The Soft Song of a Summer Breeze

THE SOFT SONG OF A SUMMER BREEZE

The sweet gentle song of a Summer breeze
Wafting through the boughs of the pines
Brings with it a soothing serenity of mind
Listen closely to its melody and drift away
To a place that is wondrous to find

You will find there is no greater sound 
Than the soft song of a Summer breeze
A song to relax you, a song that will please
As you listen so intently to its tune
And allow it to put you at ease

You will want to remain in this state of mind
But, Alas! you must always return
To the reality of the real world where we learn
That a life of fantasy may seem good --- yet
The soft song of a Summer breeze you still yearn

Thank you for your kind understanding. You were looking for poems of love. Mine is a poem of love in and of its, but different than the love most people think of. And what a great win! Thank you so much for choosing my 'different kind of love' poem as a winner in your contest.
