summer lovin'
Summer; the feeling of completion
the pulsating waves of warmth that penetrate through our 70+ sunblock
toasting temperatures inviting teenage tanning.
early church mornings and ice cream runs
car rides tempting one to gaze out the window at blurred yet deliberate movements of the passing groves, houses, cows, grasses, meshing together in one endless stroke of a paint brush
beach days, where the heat seems to vibrate off of all thick and thin; alive, and inanimate.
Trees abundant with fruit crying out for attention as peaches crowd the spiritless branches
rotten peach remains litter the ground and slowly decompose into the arid soil
succulent produce the size of small children is harvested and sold at local markets. Fat delicious fruits, like the products of angels.
juicy morsels sag in arms reach
quiet whispers of the summer breeze, carrying secrets and memories of the year before
all at hand for three months of pure bliss
all at hand until the last day
the last day when we must return again
return again to early mornings and long afternoons
counting down the days until the feeling of completion begins again.
