Summer’s Cape
Summer days glide in
like a hero with her cape
Arms open
ready to bring me in
Safely under her cover
I find some time
To stop the racing thought
to soothe an aching heart
When the sun returns
it starts to burn
Away the blur
that film I live under
I can see my life again
each moment more real
The faces I love
and the person I am
Not chasing the worries of tomorrow
but living here, living now
Plans so grand
left buried in the sand
Because I freeze
and I rest
But the calendar is the enemy
no hero can defeat
I’m supposed to want
the Fall to come?
And all the things
Summer just saved me from
