.

It came back,
Summer!
Walking in my
blue denim jeans
and bare feet
with freshly painted
candy apple red toenails
I giggle..
I feel free
I am me.

Flashbacks:
November winds
December cold snaps
January snowfalls

The noise of cars
pollutes this moment
of peace
rapture

Seizing the moment
my mind drinks in
the flower garden
neatly kept
in front of
my house on the corner..
I fight to block
out the unnatural.
I shut my eyes
and for a
split second
only I exist
            I'm walking in my
            blue denim jeans
            and bare feet
            with freshly painted
            candy apple red toenails

I giggle aloud
I am free..

I am me

And, it is finally SUMMER!

Yes, summer
you have dreamed of it
I dread these days of light and heat
where the blast furnance days greet
and I drip sweat;
but I don't forget
those crisp days of winter
when the artic cold I enter
wrapped in layers of black leather.
I over years did learn
the year will turn
and what season we each yearn
will come
then be done.

Enjoy your season

You didn't think
that the sun wouldn't
shine on you, did you?

Oh, Nancy, I loved the happiness and the lightness in this - esPECially as the winter is upon us in South Africa, as mild as that is compared to Winter in some parts of the USA.
