Embracing the Summer Solstice

summer

invites one to stay home a little less.

days passing

on patios

 on beaches

 sun-kissed shoulders

in parks along farmer's markets

noses delighted by

scents of fresh flowers

baked goods & tomatoes eaten like autumn apples.

summer

invites one to delve into pages.

novels traipsing through the mind 

long after epilogues

 final words

& concluding messages conveyed.

summer 

invites one to passion.

sweaty sheets & beaded brows

hands caressing curves

curling pink painted toes

in the early dawn.

summer 

invites one to the road.

leaving work & unpaid bills 

beyond the rear view mirror

 laughter & leisure dancing on the air

as tire tread

presses against hot unfamiliar pavement.

summer invites you...

{it's official}

embrace.
