Summer Song

Shimmers from a thousand colours 

humming everywhere

Fragrance of a thousand flowers 

permeates the air

Lady Summer at her zenith, 

glowing high above

In my garden all around me, 

Mother Nature’s love

In the water feature 

little sparrows splash and play

Feeding on the million gnats, 

too fat to fly away

Hovering above the water, 

gauzy dragonflies

Everywhere you look 

always a beautiful surprise

Lying on my lounger 

underneath the shady oak

All around me chirps and twitters, 

buzzes, squeaks, and croaks

Summer’s sweetest symphony

my eyes begin to close 

Intoxicated by it all 

I have a pleasant doze 

This is such lovely way 

to spend an afternoon

Time does move so quickly on

and summer ends so soon

Cooler days will soon be here

these warmer days be gone

But for now time to relax

enjoying summer’s song
