Summer

Earth teeming now with life and fruition
Soft summer winds setting the fields in motion
A rich tapestry of gay and bright coloured flowers
And nature is glorified in wondrous bowers
Trees sending their new growth up to the heights
Forest floor shaded and dappled with lights
New life has hatched and fledged and flown
Empty nests from trees and by the winds are blown
In the darkening sky the afternoon tempest forms
Black clouds and a stiffened breeze spell storms
The parched ground and its life welcome the rains
And the rainbow appears as the tempest wanes
