Soul music without instruments
the subtle shading of the words
To strike a chord of summertime
in resonance there to be heard

The splash of feet on phrase set free
cascade of water pure and swift
The azure brilliance high above
reflecting crystal waves that drift

The smell of Autumn far away
a spring rain bare-foot child again
The visions of a bygone day
all this to see as clear as when

These images first graced our sight
and caused us to reach out and touch
This serenade at times I fear
we miss perhaps a bit too much

Vacation tugs this writers' hand
from reverie upon the page
While summers' sweet soul music plays
I will be otherwise engaged

I'm sitting here in New Orleans with no a/c today...so naturally this WOULD catch my eye.
A great title for a beautiful poem. This one was a mood enhancer--   ---THANK YOU!!!

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...
