Summer

I saw its strength
It pushed and shoved
Moving spring into the past I felt its determination.
It talked with conviction,
5Demanding control and respect I smelled its aroma.
It permeated the air,
Providing support and desire. I heard its voice.
It encouraged togetherness,
Allowing warmth to comfort us. I tasted its spirit.
10It entertained the masses,
Generating newfound relationships. It woke me up,
Insisting I join the world.
It sheltered my fears,
Providing encouragement and hope.

15Summer spoke to me.
