Summers.....Midnight Blues
Summers.....,Midnight Blues
sweet summer sings...a dark blue lament
just listen to the night birds call
soulful low and mellow he___
plays his haunting tune
hearts aplenty must heed his call
to ride...sliver moon beams light
where shadowy dreams there to end
rent asunder all___ summers fools
love once fresh as springs morning dew
under fevered heat...summers full
passion flower's molten shimmering hues
swirl in sticky sweat___ sizzles in silken haze
no mercy given no mercy...found
though men's hearts lie heavy on the vine
ripe ready bound___tussle at an end
while summer sings the midnight blues

A moment of reflection, even on a perfect day, reminds us that happiness and sadness will both feature future as well as memories.
You described summer perfectly the way I remember them in Houston! :)
