It's Mid-Summer Again

It's mid-summer again with its mild and moist morning, Soon whisked away by the mid-day sizzling breeze. The gorgeous wildflower drinks of the sun's offering, While butterflies sip of the lily blossom's wine on the lees. Mid-summer is a time when love beads of rain cool the air; The gentle beat of its falling seem a song of beneficence. Then using the rainbow with his incomparable epic flair, The Great Poet punctuates this grand verse with elegance. As the birds are resting from their morning serenade, They now allow the cricket its course at center stage. The songbirds are cooling their throats in the shade, Letting the hot sun with its prickling heat fiercely rage. As the summer sun begins to appear as sweet red lips, Like a dessert of refreshing sugared berries before me. The evening breeze cools and my brow no longer drips, As my eyes grow heavy and I dream of the new day to be.
