Poem of the Summer
I pause on the longest day to reflect on the light that shines so bright
A golden glow that bathes the buildings in brilliant sunlight
I think back on enduring memories of a previous time
A young boy rises in the early morning eager to play in the sunshine
Ball games that continue without any end
And nighttime skies twinkle with fireflies glow
The steady waves roll over the white sandy shore
Children with endless energy exuberantly run on the beach for hours
While Adventures made at Funland live on in one's mind
Later when strolling together down the long boardwalk at sunset
A love song on the radio forever linked with her image
The heat of daylight broken by the crisp air coming out of the North
At the same time the trajectory of the sun is altered by the season
And always the child returns a little older and a little wiser
The Beginning
Passage I
It was a rich fertile land
At the source of two rivers
The fruit trees were budding
The flowers beginning to bloom
It was the time for planting
A time for working in the garden
A simple man lived in this paradise
His life was of quiet and solitude
Yet there was a need for assistance
A desire for someone to plant the seeds
And she appeared one morning at dawn
As he awoke from a long restful sleep
He was astonished by her presence
As they spoke and became acquainted
She worked day after day closely by his side
And then he knew she was truly a part of him
The Beginning
Passage III
A drama
A man and women
Art that inmates life
A love
A relationship of sorts
Attraction pulls at them
Different people
Drawn together
Desire at its core
Truth lives
Timeless beauty
Two souls needing companionship
Change needed
Chances taken
Caught in the moment
