~ Summer Daze ~
A long, hot day of summer
Drew me to a large palm tree
I grabbed an ice-filled glass
Then, poured myself some tea.
A breeze was gently stirring;
In the distance I could hear
Relaxing sounds of seagulls,
And saw children on a pier.
I ventured to the ocean's edge
Soft waves caressed my feet.
Suddenly I began to dance,
To the ocean's steady beat.I
danced as one, with wind and sea,
While in a summer's daze.
Wind-chimes tinkling happily,
As distant sounds, they made.
I soon retreated from the dance,
But I heard a soft voice say,
Next time may I share the dance??
When I looked, he'd gone away.
Hesitantly I turned to leave,
Too soon, the day must end.
But in the distant red sunset
A new dance would soon begin.
