Summer Nights

The hot Summer sun
Beats down on me
As I soak up the sunshine
And sit beneath the trees

Letting my skin
Absorb the heat of the sun
Everywhere I look
Show signs, Summer has begun

The flowers are sprouting
Up from the earth
Petals blowing in the wind
Growing on their turf

Among the colorful roses
The Butterflies flutter & fly
Birds soar high above
In the perfect blue sky

Children laugh happily
Run, jump and skip
They just get back up
If they fall and trip

So many colors
Smells, sounds & sights
And even better
Are those warm Summer nights

When I sit on the beach
In the soft, grainy sand
As the moon shines down
And the wind holds my hand

The waves crash on the rocks
Water swims around my feet
So peaceful here
I can hear my heartbeat

A thousand stars
Shine up above so high
Sparkling like jewels
In a softly lit sky

This is as close to perfect
That I can get
Those Summer days
I will never forget

And yet I feel
Still so alone
Without comfort
Without a home

I escape into daydreams
That the Summer season brings
Wishing so hard
I could have all these things

Someone to love
Someone to hold
Someone to be with
When the nights turn cold

These beautiful nights
I wish I could share
But the truth is
Not one person cares
