An Ode to Summer

A summertime of sparkle,

Vacations and holiday spirit,

Hot and balmy and fresh,

When I feel most alive.

A summertime of memories,

Iced coffees with friends,

Talking hours into the dusk,

About everything and nothing.

A summertime of sun,

Lazy picnics in the grass,

Days at the beach,

And more by the pool.

A summertime of reflection,

On things that puzzle,

Yet captivate and intrigue,

To keep me going until

Another summer returns.
