cicadas chirp, a gentle, soothing song,

Sun-drenched Earth, a sky of endless blue,

Warmth that lingers, kisses skin anew.

And butterflies flutter by all day long.

I’m greeted by the scent of sunbaked hay,

Honeysuckles linger with the breeze.

I hear the drowsy hum of buzzing bees,

Oh, how I wish this summer‘s day could stay.

I love the beauty of Winters white,

And the rusty leaves of fall.

But summer is the one who holds the key.

There’s just one thing left that might,

Add glitter to it all,

If only summer could deliver you to me.
