Savoring Summer Days

They're here! The lazy, hazy days of August wrap themselves around fond memories of my summerscape moments. 

Summer on My Mind

I taste the salt on my lips, 

turbulent seawaters' seasoning. 

I feel the sun beating on my arms, 

peeling splotches of sun-beaten skin.

I hear laughter in the waves and

Seagulls dancing before their 

Descent upon discarded food.

I notice and watch days pass,
Filling my heart with summer.
In the quiet moments
Of sunset, I savor

Time before the next memory 
Is built.

On the dog days of August, I celebrate a winding-down mode with back to school in sight. I leave you to your own daydreaming mood, as you sift through your summerscape moments. If inclined, please share them with a global audience. The invitation can be accessed here. 

I "Celebrate This Week" with Ruth Ayres each weekend. Please visit the site here to find out how each writer has celebrated the positives of his/her week.
