Summer Solstice 2017

SONG OF PERPETUAL SUMMER

Trade Winds set tempo, 

coffee on lanai greets day; 

sort the shades of blue.

Temperature rise 

harmonizing scent patterns 

with waves and sea birds.

Bending, stitching words 

throughout the soft melody; 

tapestry of palms.

Our dreams and memories 

string sensuous lei each day; 

generations link.

Chance encounters, whims

provide counterpoint, accent;

surprise of ginger.

An inclination 

towards hammock resolution;

afternoon answers.

Sunset promises, 

celebrate by letting go;

reward of night sky.
