Summer

Palm fronds laugh as they discuss

Summer songs from long ago,
Mesmerized by swirling blue and green.

Setting sun is envious;

Windswept raindrops claim they know

Where wild sky and verdant fields convene.

Daydreams rise without a care

On a gusty tropic wave;

Yearnings youthful soar on weightless wings.

Summer joy is in the air:

Lovers hide and misbehave.

Moonlit shore approves of summer flings.

Stars combust when lovers kiss;

Turgid branch ignited sprouts;

Rising tide enamored comprehends.

Rapturous romantic bliss!

Will it yield to autumn doubts?

Will love evanesce when summer ends?
