Sounds of Summer

 
Excited mother bird
flies over tree tops,
as I hold my eager cat
in the bright sunlight
of the dawning day

Rooster’s from a nearby
neighbors yard crows sounding
their continuous screeching
wake up call as they announce
to all the day has just begun

Looking down into my garden
I hear sounds of little feet moving,
as tiny creatures scurry from
here to there in an attempt again,
to survive the coming days journey

Flower pedals open with a silent calm,
reaches for the warmth of the yellow sun,
displaying beauty to all who take
a moment to view their rainbow hues,
a moment too capture their fragrance as the -

sounds of summer come to claim me again
