Summer lingers
Days still sunny and warm
And time, it seems to crawl
As seasons drift to fall
Golden haze hangs over distant fields
Thoughts of you slipping through the veil
Of passing days and hours
While trees hold green a moment more
Mountain laurels dance
By warm breeze swayed
Beneath blue skies
Laced with clouds
And still beside the road
Courses of wild flowers grow
You’re like them you know
Unlooked for, beautiful
Thoughts wherever I go
We’re like them
We earthbound seekers of heaven
Sun and moon
Which mark the passing time
Dreams and day dreams
Save where sunlight merge with night
Ours the twilight
My light baths your softer glow
Til we dissolve
As shadows fall
Those sometimes
When stars like hearts align
Let us summer one day more
Tangled wild roses
While butterflies flutter
Let me drink the dew of your kisses









What a gorgeous piece.🌹🌾
Thank you. Love and nature belong together, in my mind. 🌼
Oh, my goodness.
This is lovely, Joe.
I told you I was seeking peace of mind. 🌼
Yes you did🌺
And nature is where I find it. 🌼
hello dearest Joe you are one of the most beautiful writer I’ve ever known I’m honored to be here with you 💕
And you my friend write beauty all your own. We’re like puzzle pieces helping bring a more beautiful picture together 🌼
that’s a wonderful thought for my soul 💕
Well, you desire thoughts of wonder and beauty, isn’t that what you give? 🌼
I don’t know I just go where I’m led I do my best there is a flow to some of them that is luck you have the artist touch of a musician and a master of words 💕
Thank you, Brenda. That was a beautiful compliment – but be careful not to over inflate my ego.too much!🌼
You put a beautiful touch on that wonderful time in-between the seasons, especially Summer to Fall, when the ground has cooled down enough to lay on it again. I’m not trying to get too comfy…there are more scorchers on the horizon. But Fall is the best. Thumbs up ^
I hear you, I’m ready to hit some trails without dying of heat stroke! Fall will be here quick enough. Good to have you back around! 🍁
You take simplicity and develop stark imagery. I like the easy flow of your work.

Thank you. Nature and the beauty of women are the wine of life, to be savored at ease. Sometimes I capture that.
