The Perfect Summer Day
My idea of bliss
The perfect blissful day,
Waking on a grey Sunday morning,
With the rain tapping on the window,
And no hope of seeing the sun dawning.
**
It’s summer and a perfect 30 degrees,
Humidity is 99 percent,
I’m cuddled under the blankets,
Feeling perfectly content.
**
I’m watching as the sky cries its tears,
Drowning out our worries and concerns,
Cleansing the world and our emotions,
Until happiness once more returns.
**
My idea of perfection,
A perfect summer day,
The world has been reborn once more,
And everything is okay.
**
I love a good summer rain,
Match it with a lazy Sunday and it’s pure bliss,
I’ll smile wide the whole day through,
As I lay here and reminisce.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Beautiful poem!
Sounds like a lovely day.
Summer rain is exactlyyyyyyy how I would describe the weather in Malaysia. That's how it is all year round. Your poem was so lovely!
Sounds like bliss to me. We're still in Saturday & winter, but it is quite muddy outside as the temperature has reached nearly 40 degrees Fahrenheit the past few days, melting the wonderful snows with which we have been recently blessed.
