Summer's Kisses


Consuming me with radiance
a sweet intoxicating dawn in
the courtyard of my dwelling
life whirls as it peaks from the
heat of a hot summer’s wand

Black birds fly their skies
circling to capture a surprise
as hungry squirrels quickly scamper
hiding their delicious find knowing
what’s coming they shouldn’t hamper

Moisture pool on emerald leaves as
nature spreads their fragrant with ease
as our eyes capture the beauty beneath
a crowded blue sky as I dream of
fluffy white sculptures up high

Nature’s bouquet reaching the sun
as flowers kiss touching one by one
coolness from an ocean breeze
giving breath to those who long for
courtyard bells to sing their song

The setting sun now takes a rest
shadows dance at the garden’s crest
gentle clouds moving slowly on
creating a velvet blue sky
for tomorrow’s morning dawn

Dreaming of the day gone by
with love and happiness one does sigh
knowing tomorrow again will rise
seeing summer's kisses come alive...

in a garden of love
