Summer Skies
By Sis Unsworth
We wait so
long for summer skies, through winter’s darkest hours,
To watch the
trees unfurling leaves, and celebrate new flowers.
To glorify the
early dawn, with the suns unveiling light,
Stimulating
life on earth, as it rises to full height.
Sometimes the
skies may be darkened, by invading showers of rain.
Then Mother
Nature takes a hand and skies are blue again.
The wonder of
the evening sky, as the sun descends below,
Leaving then
an artists dream, the sky in such a glow.
Then the
summer night sky comes to complete the day's endeavour.
You can almost
see the universe, as the stars go on forever.
The moon in
all its glory concludes the perfect day
As summer
skies give pleasure with winter far away.

A delighful flow into summer.
ReplyDeleteYou glorify both the transition from 'Winter to Summer', and 'Day to Night' with simple words; no flowery epithets to cause me scrabbling for my dictionary. It flows well and leaves a warm glow inside the reader. Thank you for sharing it. Hope you will soon be sharing others...
ReplyDeleteLovely poem Sis,the trouble is, that as I get older, Winter never seems far away. We have had some lovely weather so far so must not moan. Roll on Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteChristmas? That's winter! You're wishing the summer away...
