Summer

Summer

Deep in Summer when cicadas sing and the earth is full and green

And warm winds whisper of power in the sky and the moon controls our dreams

Air is heavy and the stars are bathed in sweet celestial rays

And swamp lights glisten as the owls fly close, through a light of the moonlit haze

The lullaby of Summer rain will still the forest birds

And wake our souls and soothe our minds with soft unspoken words.
