Summer's Embrace

Summer's Embrace

Question you ask,

Season of Summer?

Out came my gasp!

Oh, how you slumber!

To you I relate

The mark you did miss

You could be too late!

Fear not I'll desist!

Where, I implore!

Where to embark?

Much to explore

Here I will start

Melons mature

Red juicy sweet

Seeds to capture

More can I eat?

Heat wave beware

Don a wide brim

If you despair

Go for a swim!

Can I depart?

Will you submit?

Need I impart,

More summer spent?

Seashore, seashells

Castles of sand

Gulls above sail

Come, take my hand

Mountains to climb

Trails await tread

Ride with a bike

or hike on instead

Rock wall each side

Torrent between

We're still alive!

Can you believe?

Cool riverbend

Fish till content

Boy and his friend

Sleep in a tent

Star light, star bright

Bless me tonight

Fraught with firelight

I'll hold on tight!

Fall on your heels?

Don't lose your faith

Soon you will feel

Summer's embrace
