MOUNTAIN SUMMER
Mountain summer’s almost here
Sun made way, warm nights cheer
Flowers peep without fear
Limbs rouse, bud, leaves appear
Moon rises, bird still sings
Proclaims joy tomorrow brings
Solo tweet, no drums, strings
Concert seat—front porch swing
Trails to hike, nature to see
Wade cool creeks, nap under tree
Serene, restful, troubles flee
Mountain summer harmony
