The Joy of Summer Bright

Shall I compare you to a summer’s day?

Humming bees drift lazily across beds blooming

As lavender’s sweet flavour wafts your way.

Warm sunshine rests the mind, senses booming,

Heat rising scent lifts from your arms and face.

Calm, lifts away the weight of things to do,

Of screens alight drawing the route to race.

Every breath releases you, nothing to pursue.

But to watch, bees busy about their day

And admire nature’s bounty rich in hew.

The sky beckons your attention, the way

To picture our amazing globe, sky blue.

Community, here within this flower,

Sketched by busyness of this buzzing bee,

The blue above us, if we allow her

To care for you, me, this wonderous garden tree.

Shall I compare you to a summer’s day?

If you scent warm life and feel our world blue,

Chose the bee, tree and flowers’s way,

Alike the joy of summer bright are you.
