Tasting the finest delights summer air
Fireflies roaming and warming what’s near
Wisps of the flowers scented clean fair
Foreign stars aligned upon maps over stairs
A blanket of earth covering sharp bladed ground
Insects mingling in whispering paths clear of sound
Clever small children running with day
Soft hearted adults musing at the wonders at play
A sugary pond by a manor conclave
With a mother of ducklings showing the way
A fish breaking surface letting shore be known
With blue green algae accepting the flow
A delicacy springs through air with surprise
Attempting small shows where its sustenance flies
In heart wrenching moments ideas wear their disguise
As conversations spark as to where it all lies
The debate carries on all through the night
Exchanges of experience education and insight
When all is done and the rum through pours run
The delights in mixed languages and a variety of tongues
A hearty meal from South America to Singapore
Life lessons padded on bellies from the top to the floor
With vibrant stories mixed in good fashion
Such as a harp players love or a conductors sweet passion
The concerto of summer soon draws her soft poise
A humming interlude from a singer’s dear voice
The choir matches the pitch and the audience rejoices
All of nature beholds precision and purpose.
