Summer Shade
by John Trent

Greens and gold’s, dancing
On rhythms of a hot summer breeze
Restless,
Whispering
Moves the leafs above
As the sun peeks through the ceiling of green
Slowly,
Deliberately,
It moves across the hazy sky

So small, a grey bird
Perches the limb above
Painting a masterpiece with her simple song
Fills light the air
As dragonflies and lady bugs,
Performing,
Waltzing,
On points of golden-green

Floats the field’s horizon
As blues and greens waiver
On light brown heat
Hypnotic,
Unhurried,
A warm summer breeze
Caresses my face
Watching,
Deliberately,
From the shade of this lone tree
