The horizon shimmeres in the mid-day heat haze Azure sky almost matching the cotton of her sun dress Her young spirit, so in love with the promise of the day And all the magic ofherafternoonindependence She kicks off her shoes as she reaches the cool grass Skipping barefoot across the sun brightened meadow Freedomgiveslift to her small feet in a fantasy of flight Heart in a rhythm ofjoy ,blushes her face in a rosy glow Across the meadowis a shaded spot beneath an old oak tree Amarker ofa secret path, to herplace by thelittle brook Smiling she greets theancient tree, patting its rough old bark Laughing asshe hears the little toad,give her a welcoming croak Dropping down, she crawls through aspace beneath a berry bush Scraping her knee in sandy soil , unhindered by the tear of flesh She wrestles her way towards the splash of the brook upon the rocks Then all at once shehas arrived in herplaceofpeacefulness Home again by her emerald bank, sherests on the warm flat rock Cupping her hands she drinks greedily the sweetness of the stream She closes her eyes and tilts her head in worship of the lovinggods That she may come here and taste July in the summer of her dream |

This is loely June and of course you can still go back and edit if you want to. You are calling on your memories I know because I do not think it is summerin England any more than here. I thought perhaps you were speaking of a small child. Children can enjoy the moment with so much skill. But if not, a child at heart. I loved it. Joyce |

Thank you for all your lovely replies to this poem.It was written about myself as a young girl aged 11 or 12 years , in the days when it seemed safe for a girl to walk into the countryside alone. I used to take a book with me and loved to run barefoot to my secret place .......... ahhhhhhh those days !!! well anyway, i am so happy you all took the time to read and comment on this one, it means a lot to me. hugs from june x |

delightful poem, June...I long for summer... A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

junemac: I enjoyed this so much. Your images were so sharp and clear I could feel like I was along with you. Reminds me of myself, when young, as I had a secret spot in the woods, by a creek! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
