An homage to the season of summer! A "Try Something New" Winner |
It Must Be Summer ... It must be summer … This morning, as I lay in bed, the sun came in. I hid my head but it would not let me ignore like winter’s darkness did before. It must be summer … The sounds of nature’s symphony, the squirrels and birds up in the tree, invite me out to sit, unwind … (and bring them food, if I’ve a mind.) It must be summer … The ladies, like my garden’s rose, are blooming with their painted toes that peek from sandals, once more found, in styles and fashions that astound! It must be summer … Silence reigns once more at school. The kids are splashing in the pool. The suits get smaller every year! (No, I wasn’t staring, dear …) It must be summer … The smell of grilling fills the air as friends and family gather where old conversations start anew now that our hibernation’s through. It must be summer … The clink of ice cubes in my glass, the perfume of the new mown grass, the unseen pollen in the breeze … I feel a constant need to sneeze! It must be summer … The world seems to take on a glow; no longer does it lay fallow. It fills with rich diversity … and shares its gifts with you and me. Yes, it must be summer.
