Summertime Thoughts

#1. Summertime is...

a respite from school/work
however, ephemeral it may be.

a break from cold spell
though fleeting it may be, too.

a retreat to the cool mountains
communing with Nature.

the running away from it all
if only for a moment...

the time to be more intimate
with Nature and ourselves.


#2. Ah, It's Summer!

whew! it's hot!
but, it's fun to lay down
on the sand with the sun
and the breeze from the trees
and the free and expansive seas.

now, you're here...
with your colors and creations
shades and shapes in shirts and shorts
in songs and shows in fairs and festivals
in games and dances with peers in cheers
with their jokes and jeers, no fears and tears!

here and there, everywhere...
partying, picnicking, camping and hunting
surfing and sailing, cruising and chasing
racing and rapping to the beat and the heat
of simmering, sweltering, sizzling summer!

like sparkling water on a stream
sodas and coolers, beer and wine
flowing freely, with so much sweat
flowing profusely, under the sun
with so much fun...all around
on the beach, to the fields
in the woods, at the park
under the sun, having fun
under the shade, colors won't fade
'cause they get brighter every summer!
