Days of endless summer trickle by
In a humid haze of fireflies,
Before dark we hope to spy
Finger paint lidded eye
Winking a goodbye,
Sunset surprise,
Heaven’s sigh,
July’s
Sky
I
Will try
To defy
Letting dreams die,
Though it seems unwise,
Hours of burning supply
That moment to mesmerize,
Lay to rest all questions of why
When doubters can no longer deny
