Summer’s Song

So he continued to press on,
always seeking opportunities for growth;
reading the language of the universe.

It was in this state,
whilst driving down the road,
chance brought forth
a beauty to behold.

The seed pods of a wisteria
That climbed an old ash
were swaying in the breeze,
clanging like so many wind chimes.

And like himself,
summer’s song did carry on.

dear Tim,

I love this small piece of sweetness. for some reason unknown, I wanted to read it with an Irish accent. from the start, it tripped along nicely, leading me down the path to a well timed (poetically speaking) ending which I liked best!

And like himself,
summer’s song did carry on.
I visualize your muse sitting on your shoulder, with her ankles crossed, whispering in your ear!
