Summer, Finally

The first day

Of Summer

Began

With a long,

Sweaty run.

What better way

To celebrate

The return

Of warmer weather?

The longest day

Of a marathon year

Did not

Disappoint.

The Yankees

Won another game.

I survived

Another day

Not spent

As a

Full time Writer.

Thoughts

Of creating

A short film

Danced in

My head,

Like they, too,

Had been

Resurrected

By the return

Of my favorite season.

The first day

Of Summer

Is winding down

With me

Out on the porch,

Listening to the

Concert

While I write.

Summer

Brings hope,

New life,

And ridiculous

Tan lines

To a world askew.

The first day

Of Summer

Reminds me

That the snow

Always melts,

No matter

How bad

The Winter.

Summer…

Finally!
