Dancing shadows, rushing streams Bring on, bring on, my summer dreams Muddy green seas only sometimes blue A red sky sunset for me and you. Harvested cornfields, shady trees Horse with flies and foxes with fleas A giggle of children running nigh bare Hazards abound but they don't care. Summer thoughts and summer highs Pull us through winter's pallid skies We who dwell in this hemisphere Need the summer every year. June 2004

A Gift from the Deserts
I love a warm wind A friendly summer breeze It wraps me in optimism And puts me at ease. It's so welcome when it comes To city streets or country lane To the deck of a heeling boat Or a crowded beach in Spain. The warm wind tans our paleness And our faces take on a glow Drab clothing is cast away And stressed pulses begin to slow. It's the deserts that give up their heat To the drifting passing air Which, carried over land and seas Ensures we get a share.
