The scarlet sky painted beyond cotton clouds

Led to dew drops that simmered the ground

A flare, a sparkle, an immense glowering

A bellowing warmth that touched the crowd

Rejoice in summer with festivities and fun

Leave the mistakes and forget what’s done

Laid back beneath the summer heat

Partly shaded yet in the wake of our Sun.

Freedom with its tangy blur

I learned to swallow and concur

Engulfed by its freely flames

Caused chaos but not a stir.

Restless humidity, yet relentless time

Despite the heat we’d otherwise be fine

But we must play and abide by summer’s rules

I insist you sit back and enjoy the ride.
