Summer mornings are planting grounds of production,

Where my whole world can run efficiently away from the rising sun.

But once it’s high zenith is met,

Cogs and gears of my ever mounting work crack and melt into oblivion.

Summer afternoons are for the birds,

They even take this time to find a scrap of shade.

Summer evenings are meant for reflection,

Peaceful thoughts floating among the settling haze.

And now we look toward summer nights,

Where our bodies may ready themselves for these summer days.
