Summer Morning
April 2, 2015
My face slick with sweat
Even under the leafy canopy,
A halo of green formed by foliage
Around my body,
And a shaded shape
Is created in a circle,
By the maple trunk base.
The branches encased with flowers
And the meadow,
Just a stone’s throw away.
Beats down the burning sun
Upon me,
My face turned towards
The fluorescent rays.
My soon warm back sacrificed,
To the light beams.
I begin a new book
A new cycle of seasons
And a new day.
Then I know it is truly summer,
Once again.

This is the fourth piece in my "Morning" series. This one is my favorite out of four, even though all of them are not that good.
