Summer Sonnet

"Shall I compare thee..."

Lake in Northern Idaho!

Shall I compare thee, to a sunburnt skin?

Summer nights, summer days, summer winds.

Frolic through Sunkist ray beams

of orange, amber sunset ends?

Conscious streams, of thought and mind,

compare little to rushing, water-kind.

Splash to Tahoe or Venice Beach,

walk briskly but determined on sands of time.

Grasp at sticks of memories on mountain peaks,

to live out ones Wonder, Cheshire dream!

Nest momentarily on embers of Solstice Summers,

to Discover fireflies of fortune and Midnight beauty.

What brings happiness to you and me?

Living each summer day and night like it is your Final Destiny!
