An ode to summer

So the curtain comes
to draw to a close our summer.
Ah summer......
Of daisy chains
and warming rains,
castles of sand
and skin softly tanned;
of happenstance of friends new made
and sitting with rose in tree cupped shade.
Of walking along a coastal path
with a care free laugh
and picnic packed
with too many a snack;
of hopes reborn
in fields of corn,
as childhood memories
flood the capillaries
of your happy,
bursting,
open,
mind.
Ah yes,
that was summer.
May it live on long,
and true.
