The taste of the summer dances on my tongue
A mix of heady flavours creating lasting memories
Of days spent frolicking and having fun
Stored forever in our personal treasuries
The strawberries and cream eaten on the lawn
With nothing to do except to enjoy the present moment
Drinking sparkling wine on the beach until dawn
Watching the fireflies in an intricate waltz for our enjoyment
The barbequed chicken and salty halloumi cheese
Sizzling with sausages and burgers on long summer Sundays
When clouds drift above in the gentle summer breeze
I know I will cherish these days always
These are the flavours the perfect summer is made of
The endless nights and days full of love

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
