Summer entices the lover in me
to play on the fields of pleasure release
but warns to avoid the hills and dales
reserved for only the soul.  

There are days of rainy weather
and a million things in the way
of easy and carefree entry
but the magnetized zone for soul
pulls like into like
regardless of timing and cost.

Once entered it binds imagination
to the merry-go-round of dreams
and ties the freedom of mind
to the task of climbing a jungle gym.  

It promises nought but loneliness
in the turn, turn around, of merry-go-rounds
that of necessity decrees the dreams
secretive and invisible pastimes.

The jungle gym twists a mind quite awry
in its climb beyond limited wisdom
but truth isn’t laid out on platters
as a reward for the exhausted.  

Beware the zone marked for the soul
but energy goes where energy plays!

Summer's beckoning

eternal promise renewed

the wheel of life turns

Thanks, Margherita.  Mind climbs but never quite understands that merry-go-round of dreams.

And your writing is alluring as well.
Nice write Helen.
