Remember summer, when days lasted until dawn, splashing in the grass.

Children having fun. Drinking an orange morning, listening, birds wake.

Relaxing with friends, making plans for our escape. It’s never too late.

We checked on the maps. Roads, we had to discover, getting lost, living.

Remember summer, when kissed by a blue lake, feeling a warm sun.

Swimsuits without shame, laughing, spraying me with water, eating sticky fruit.

The sun goes away. Leaves take it’s departing glow, bright colors to show.

The night’s cold reach grows. We say goodbye to summer. Hello to the snow!
