Sonnet to memories of summer

Summer's day challenge

By James M. PiehlPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Of all the memories I have of summer

And of all those things I know the best

When the days are hot and getting warmer

When we find the time to think and rest

We will always have the calm of twilight

Between the busy buzz of day

Held in hands that brought our curtain of night

And gently put the struggle away

From that we filled ourselves with slumber

And took from what time we need

To tread calmly through sleep's water

We carry with us our soul's seed

And sow our way through all of summer

To reap our memories harvest what we are given from her
