Summer breezes graze
Each blade of grass
Whipping up the current
With a little bit of sass
The vibe it creates
Brings a surge of fun
Even as the day
Is now nearly done
The memory it leaves
Is an everlasting treasure
Moments like these
Just cannot be measured
It’s so hard to say goodbye
And yet we must go
As the sun begins to sink
Beneath its heavenly glow

In the stillness of the day
I sit quietly and reflect
On all the wondrous things
I so often tend to neglect
I become fully entranced
By the soft billowy clouds
Which are often forgotten
Amongst the bustle of the crowds
The flowers captivate me too
Each one smiling at the sun
Seems God’s perfect glory
Can never be outdone
The trees all leisurely sway
To the beat of the zealous breeze
And the bees and the wild things hum
To the rustling of tender leaves
There’s magic in the air
Drifting along on a waft of sweet perfume
And I’m lost once again
To the wonders of a beautiful afternoon

It floated across
The wide open sea
A spotted speck
Was all it seemed to be
And yet upon
A much closer inspection
She noticed it was just
A mere reflection
Twas the sun glinting
Off the crystalline blue
Radiating a rather
Resplendent hue
And she wished every image
Could have such a lovely effect
And wondered why the whole world
Couldn’t be like that spotted speck

The sky
So blue
Wish I could bottle it
For me and you
Each cloud
So still
Like a painting
Seems surreal
The faint breeze
So tender
My heart willing
To surrender
My mind
So enraptured
The essence of you
Beautifully captured
