Waves of Feelings

Waves of feelings bounce everywhere
Accompanied by brightness all around
Warm air suppresses them like a blanket
Everything silences for a moment

Silence can’t be held for long
As Nature begins to hum
Her birds sing songs of summer
And her plants dance along

Her children play together
In midst of summer heat
The waves start to move again
This time without restraint

Suddenly emotions run amuck
Delight radiates onto everyone
Excitement ricochets off everything
Love pours everywhere

However the end comes closer
And Sadness crawls out
He leaks out of even the smallest cracks
Affecting everyone he can

The other emotions begin to exit
But not without leaving a legacy
Sadness can only do so much
Especially against summer’s Happiness

Cold autumn winds arrive
And the end is verified
Summer never lasts forever
But always comes around again
