“Summer’s Lullaby”

If you listen closely,
And open up your ears,
There is a constant summer song
A lullaby, to hear.

It is heard through flowers
Who bloom, and brush the looming trees,
That whisper to each other
In the fragrant breeze.

A tune composed of lover’s sighs
And the broken hearted’s tears,
Mixed with childish gales of laughter
That omits all fear.

Seen through luminous colors,
And grazing clouds in the sky.
It’s an electricity orchestrated,
From people passing by.

You hear it through crystal waves crashing,
On pillows of hot sand
And star gazing at night,
While the crickets play their band.

A melody formed by the fumes of depression
Of the monotonous days,
When there is nothing to do
As summertime begins to fade.

This song is a beacon of hope,
Through the seasons of the year.
A balm for the cracked hearts
To those whose troubles are near.

So, if you listen very closely,
And open up you eyes and ears,
There is a constant sweet summer song
A lullaby, for all to hear.
