Summer

Sizzling sunshine
drenches the day.
Sweat
drips
down
my
back.
I breath in warm, humid air.
Shade is a small refuge.
But wait, a breeze
floats
my
way.
The caress of an angel.
Butterflies
and
dragonflies
don't mind the heat.
They are carefree as they fly.
I stop to watch them and
remember summer is full of
beauty, too.
I will truly look more often.
