Summer seems a time of brevity, levity and love. My heart and intellect could not stand an outpouring of researched writing this week so something different… a poem; in this case, liquid words of summer sentiment. Enjoy the beauty and life-filled images of the season. 🙂
Love
Past loves swarm and circle-buzz the air:
The ones you walked with in butter breezes,
Fingers and sunlight brushing shoulder blades
Two-stick popsicles
Colors melting with time
Color
Red, pink, yellow scrunchy bunches of snapdragons sold next to
A baby-faced man playing piccolo on a sweaty street
Green baskets of beans, beets and peaches huddle nearby
Spit polished, bugs removed
Music born of the earth
Music
Guitars warm and humming on picnic blankets
Play and sway with the wind in tall grasses
Surrender, bend, dance
Divinity singing all we cannot
A song embraced by grace
Song
Laughter hop scotches with sprinkler spray and lands like a pebble
In the dry throats of elders
Voices quenched after a brittle winter
Shriek with outdoor freedom
Old sing and love like young
Young
Innocent as cotton candy, brown as muffins from sun soaking
Children of the moment
Don’t miss the next breath
Mmmmmm meditation
Time melting with living

What are your summer images? Where are the colors? Loves? Music?
Cannonball or pencil dive? Make a splash or not?
