Summer Days

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Jun 28, 2018

I watched the gentle waves lapping the shore 
And taste the salty breeze from the ocean air 
I saw seagulls flying horizontally without a care, 
Spreading their wings in the calm atmosphere. 

Politics powers reign and lovers claim romance 
Parties began, and the united theme stood strong, 
Crowds weave merrily in victory celebration dance 
On land, demons ran until the spirit caught everyone.

Summer days filled with hazy languid sunny rays
Night retreat stay softly in the moonlight glades, 
The heaven displays a theater of stars for our eyes, 
Make grassy meadows appears like spikey blades. 

Set the stage for the season of nature to mature, 
And let out of cages the cocoon time to grow, 
Harmoniously into happier moods of pleasure, 
Brimming with gaiety, and abundant love to show.

When it's dark the heat goes where slumber snooze, 
And search out of our dreams what reality withholds. 
Until fantasy throws open the doors that were close, 
To make summer days filled with memorable goals.

Beautiful kisses in the sublime recess of relaxing way, 
from the ocean floor we make sandcastles on the shore, 
Runners jog effortlessly in the generosity of the day
Embrace lazy heat and soak up the change of employer. 

Summer days bloom with love that envisages adventure, 
Laughter stays longer, and humor lingers fragrantly, 
With smiles that turn heads and eyes hot as fire 
Summer is a portrait of time to make people happy.
