Ode to Summer

Season of relation to the sun With a clear blue ocean from above. Sandy shores become filled with fun As stars shine brightly like those in love. A heat that penetrates through the night Flourishing and devastating growth. From the light of a blazing fireball. Birds have settled in from their spring flight And flowers prosper from a bee’s great oath. The heat will seem to never have a fall And days filled fully with light. Summer is a fiery love affair Hot and passionate to the bitter end. With promises to forever be a pair But clouds loom over when it’s time to end. Its hearts flame flickers into nothingness Leaving only a heartbroken land. That’s fooled by the suns own seductiveness Slapped down by the autumn wind’s hand. Love that will fade through season’s mighty reign But will spring up eternally anew With passion equaled to the seasons brew. As summer fades and leaves begin to fall The color green becomes as rare as gold Days become short answering the moon call And nights become entangled in the cold. Calm summer days turn to windy frays As clouds roll in from far off lands unseen. Fires begin to crackle as skies turn gray Augmented with power the sun’s fiend Clouds become the suns untimely bane Hiding all the glories of this season But crucial for eternal liaison.
