The Sound of Summer

festive day in the city
the gusts
of summer wind

i sing like the rainbow warrior
on heat
glowing with intense inner life

waiting for the yellow moon
i sip
a cup of you in silence

how beautiful is the sunflower in the
garden of life
the scent of summer solstice

a fun night of nights sublime
yet, you sit like
a lonely heart reading haiku

in the dreamscape of destiny
i eat the
luscious moon before the first light of dawn

plunging into sweetness
i listen to
the sound of summer rain

behold a thousand colours of wonder
in my orbit
i burst into the vibrant life in the nick of time

singing like a poet possessed
daring to dream
as the moon dances in your eyes
this glorious
night

sharing hopes and dreams
with great
delight
you nourish

with the
tingling first kiss of dawn
devouring the dream
as the earth moves

(moving from chaos to order and some
elements of certainty)
with so
much hope
and confidence
in the new realm of wonder

i yearn for wisdom
in a world of reason and energy and dark matter
rising to the heart of the beloved
how wonderful
is the sweet tension
in the new
dawn of awareness?
