In the sweltering heat of summer’s reign,
I find solace on a holiday plain.
Beneath the sun’s relentless golden blaze,
I sit and ponder, lost in its fiery haze.
*
A symphony of cicadas fills the air,
their rhythmic chorus serenades my chair.
The gentle hum of lazy, hazy days,
lulls my senses into a dreamlike haze.
*
A canopy of blue
stretched wide and vast,
embraces me as moments slowly drift past.
The sun, an artist, paints the world in light,
caressing my skin with warmth and delight.
*
I watch as palm trees dance in sultry breeze,
their graceful sway a natural tease.
Their fronds like emerald brushes, paint the sky,
as if in harmony with nature’s lullaby.
*
A distant shore, where turquoise waves collide,
invites me to escape, to let my worries slide.
But I choose to stay, to savor summer’s grace,
to find tranquility in this sun-kissed space.
*
As sweat trickles down, a cooling touch,
I find respite in the stillness, ever clutch.
For in this quietude, I find a serene retreat,
where time slows down and life feels complete.
*
The heat becomes my muse, igniting thought,
and from within, inspiration is brought.
Words flow like rivulets, dancing in my mind,
as summer’s warmth unwinds, unconfined.
*
So, I sit and embrace the heat’s gentle caress,
in this holiday oasis, where worries suppress.
For in the heat of summer, I find my release,
a moment’s respite, a poetic masterpiece.
