time to fully immerse myself in awe
my favorite season is totally energizing
worth all the heat and humidity of summer
refreshing breezes are amazing gifts

childhood memories race through my mind
colorful leafy ones are greeting me now
performing their amazing dance in the wind
simply sharing their diverse talents with glee

one kind little leaf invites me to his solo act
I smile as my new pal belts out a tune
magical clouds gather in the blue sky
proud to be the best background singers

soon wood sprites immerge from the trees
adding their zestful antics of utter lunacy
happy giggles now pour from the shore
waves of lake laughter are flooding us all


hope to see you there next time, John : )
