TEXAS SUMMER'S EMBRACE
TEXAS SUMMER'S EMBRACE
Poem written for Summer Sonnets Poetry Contest, XF Lacasse, sponsor
Beneath Texas skies, wildflowers bend and sway.
Soft zephyrs tease the hair around my face.
There’s a hush at noon--a humid, lazy day.
Cicadas hum their songs in summer’s embrace.
The sky, a canvas painted azure bright,
With cotton candy clouds drifting by, soft and slow.
Evening’s glow, a tender, amber light,
Invites the stars to dance over rugged Edwards Plateau.
Yet in this warmth, a fleeting shadow lies,
For time, like dust, slips through my open hands.
Summer laughter fades; the season softly sighs,
Moments disappear like footprints in the sands.
So I shall cherish summer’s fleeting grace
In Texas’ warm embrace, finding solace in this place.
