I wrote this poem in class for a close friend of mine:
The summer breeze, gentle and warm
Swirls together with each drawn thought
Stumbling waves expel
Salty, sweet and moist breaths
Sweat bridges skin to the dry air
Dozing in and out of reality
Dreams are forged, built to be steady
The farthest goal now rests in your palm.
Bring forth the change; escape the natural
Pain
Relax now; find your peace in this world’s
Decay
Isolated to its own lost and condemned island,
Fear
Loses the hold and stake over your smile
Face each day like this; count your blessings
Strive for the reality, the future, the Truth
That Summer Breeze often brings about.
It takes on a whole new meaning;reading it now, that is. Maybe summer is what I need.
