the first day of summer,

Hello Summer, hello burnt cheeks, hello strawberry sips.
As I write to you, I'm sitting on the posy-decorated porch, beneath a simmered sky.  There are marshmallows melting,  knee caps tinting,   and floral fragrance's tickling snouts.   At last,  the rainy June descends, and I can kiss the lips of summer.

If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance.  ~Bern Williams

To celebrate the first day of Summer, I attached my bosom to the yellow bloom of a sun dress.  I'll have you know, the fur vest, and sweater do not reflect the temperature.  While wearing this outfit,  I was cascaded by secret quarrels of sweat.   Truly,   If I followed fashion by the light of the sun, I would have been naked.

Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.  A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world.  ~Ada Louise Huxtable

Summer brings  naked toes, gladdening, and sprightly atmospheres.
For me, Summer brings unblemished thought, and wonderment.  When I gaze into the horizon, I am not burdened by misery.      At Summer's window,   I am no longer a creature of comfort, seeking desolate patterns.  Instead, I become an explorer.    I grow, like a crop, beneath the sugar beams of light.

For my Summer, I will trade yawns for stretches, and scratches for tickles.

For many winters, and inside aching,  I have allowed my restless soul to wilt.  In my life span, I have spent too often as a bare, and hollow creature,   hidden below cotton blankets. I have hid my dreams beneath pillowcases, and tricked my adventures with fear.      As I catch glimpses of my face in the mirror, and my feet in the water,  I wonder.  I wonder how humans can let our souls wither. I wonder why we keep ourselves dreaming, constantly dreaming, but never wearing our dreams.  
When Summer comes, and my belly aches subside, I feel at peace, at discovery, and at growth.   As the earth's dirt warms, so does my soul.  

Watch me gallop. Watch me explore..
Happy Summer feelings.

 Kisses !!
