In the rush back to school with pencils and bookbags.
And meeting new teachers and booking new clients.
Under stacks of emails and endless To Do lists...

I've lost.......... the spirit of Summer.

Leaving room for impatience and tapping of feet.
And rolling of eyes and fits of despair
over things that are, well, small.

Have I learned nothing from Summer at all?

From the languid, the laughing, the lovely?

Oh, no matter the season, no matter the weather,
Let Summer live on.

A matter of the mind and yes,
of the heart.
