Poem: Glorious Summer~

She arrives in pure delight

Not expecting her presence

With a bold and grand entrance

Who is to deny her essence

Wished not to leave

It was time I believe

For to truly appreciate

She says goodbye

But hello to another

Do not grieve for me

For I will return again

To steal a heart away

Warm reflections of her existence will fondly remain

Reigning upon all with a warm embrace

For all the living welcome

Birds come to her calling

Praises songbirds joyfully sing

Echoing for miles it seems

Flowers are born and so adored

Lingering fragrances that dance in the air

Butterflies deliriously exuberant with their scent

Nature pridefully no longer hides

But only wake up to piercing eyes

Warm enough to melt the coldest evening chill

A light so intense one could never forget

For a rebirth is needed, a light to give life

Oh Glorious Summer, you breathe life ino lives

Penetrated the earth with your mighty rebirth

You restore warmth to souls when feeling cold~
