After the sleepy days of winter
I am ignited, brought to life,
The phoenix rising
And soaring through
Daydreams and memories.
I am caught by the edge of
A summer breeze
I whirl around in the air
Like a dandelion seed
Carrying the promise
Of a wish
The promise of tomorrow
The promise of summer.
I am a rainstorm after
Days of sticky heat,
I am the change of pressure
In the air, humid and thick
I am not stopping anytime soon
So couples dance and splash
Raincoats over sun dresses.
Today, because of me,
Everything is lush green and alive
So that when the sun peaks around
A cloudy corner once more
Nature will march to the order
And stand straight and tall
Breathtaking. Beautiful. Summer.
