Summer Songs

5-03-06

Lazy days of summer are coming

Waking with the birds in the morning

Singing insistent work songs

While we lay in bed staring at the ceiling

Plotting our next vacation

Lazy days of summer are coming

Midday sun sparkling fireworks

On the swimming pool water

Ebullient laughter of children at play

Splashing the day’s heat away

Lazy days of summer are coming

Afternoons of heat-hazed asphalt

Waiting for the music box tones

Of the creeping ice cream truck

Beg some change and run along

Lazy days of summer are coming

Warm nights with the windows open

Serenaded by cricket song

The pulse of nature we recall

Another ancient rhythm resonates
