She walks through the garden, flowers turn
As if she were made of sunlight
Petals open to welcome her in, she smiles
her obsequious smile to their blind affection
She brings light to the days of grey
Calming the autumn storms.
The warmth within her melts the snow
When winter comes
She is my June, all year long
Bathing my days with sunny skies
A gentle breeze, her breath
Tranquility unfurlled as her name was spoken

She simply said, "I am summer"


Hey dog, did you see the size of that chicken!?

Thanks Sunshine! This actually started out as a joke. I was watching a movie with my wonderful girlfriend the other night, and I thought I'd be a little silly. I leaned close and said to her, "Hey beautiful, what's your name?"
All she did was smile at me and say, "I am summer"
I think she was possessed by my muse at the moment.

I picture a goddess, veiled in a warm morning mist with sunset tressels weaving gently in her waking breeze ...

... a well-seasoned love.

Kris, this is stunning. Your girlfriend is lucky to have you write such beautiful words for her.

Now take her over to the Japanese Garden at Balboa Park and woo her with your love.

Hugs, Marti
