Summer sun, bright and yellow
Amidst pure blue skies
Birds chirping
Stealing sunflower seeds
Dropping them in my backyard
A cold glass with ice
Fruit juice poured in carefully
I sip it as I stare
My imagination soars
What does this summer hold?
So much of it has passed
I am scared I am too late
Will I meet someone?
I have made new friends already
But something more
I feel that someone is near
I hear the echoes of their voice
I cannot tell
Who they are
Who they will be
Friend or lover
Teacher or rival
Maybe my imagination
Has run away with me
But I am ready
For a summer love or whatever else
So long as summer's here
Amidst pure blue skies
Birds chirping
Stealing sunflower seeds
Dropping them in my backyard
A cold glass with ice
Fruit juice poured in carefully
I sip it as I stare
My imagination soars
What does this summer hold?
So much of it has passed
I am scared I am too late
Will I meet someone?
I have made new friends already
But something more
I feel that someone is near
I hear the echoes of their voice
I cannot tell
Who they are
Who they will be
Friend or lover
Teacher or rival
Maybe my imagination
Has run away with me
But I am ready
For a summer love or whatever else
So long as summer's here
Author notes
I wrote this for the contest, and for myself. I was kind of down before, but I know that there is so much in the future. I shouldn't worry about time just yet, nor should I worry about my current status as the "recently broken up with" (it was about time, actually). I feel confidant now. You should too.
