Summer Blues

'Twas a day in the summer.
It happens every year, as unproductive as the last.
I pulled the curtain and glimpsed out my window at the picture-perfect day.
The sun stood before me, showing off its magnificent rays.
I turn to my left.
Kids were running around,
Young and carefree of the world around them.
There were high school students studying SAT books on the
Grass, laughing with one another.
To my right, I see senior citizens walking and chatting.
People of all ages were enjoying the crisp, yet warm day.
Days like this are rare to have; we must enjoy them when we can.
I walk outside my house and
The warm weather beats on my pale skin.
The radiant sun, which finally crept out after winter,
Warms the entire town.
I close my eyes, sit on the hammock, and drift off.
I wake up to the sound of birds chirping.
As I open my eyes I am inside my bedroom.
I look out the window and I see a sheet of white.
Confused I get up and realize it was all a dream.
Winter has come, and so has the cold.
Twas' a fun summer.
