Summer, Completely Unforgettable

It catches your heart and makes you breathe deep.
Blistering hot sand snakes between bare toes,
These young summers are impossible to forget
Embedded in your memories to stay forever.
Jewels of water decorate your sun caressed skin.
An exhausted college student jumps back into teenage years with every summer.

Long nights, sweet, meant to be savored.
Rolling thunder dots the afternoon quiet,
A faraway storm, mysterious and alluring.
Falling into a slumber, breath in sync with pattering rain.
Cool winds blow through a partially opened window,
a rare relief from the greedy heat of a Southern summer.

Mornings graced with summer sweets
Not chocolate or cakes, but sugared peaches and damp strawberries.
Sunlight ventures through the curtains
dancing and playing in front of your closed eyelids
beckoning you to join in

Yes, these summers filled with
light ocean breezes and heavy, dark storms,
unbreakable heat, and savory fruits,
lazy mornings and hazy nights
are truly unforgettable.
