Gentle Summer

Golden light upon the sea

Drifting leaves, a gentle breeze

Whispers float through skies so wide

Time slows down, no need to hide

Gentle summer, hold me near

Wash away the distant fear

In your warmth, I find my peace

Let the noise of life just cease

Footprints fading on the shore

Days like these, I long for more

Laughter echoes through the trees

Carried soft on summer’s ease

Gentle summer, stay awhile

Paint the sky with your soft smile

In your stillness, I remain

Free from worry, free from pain

And when you go, I’ll hold you close

In memory, where silence grows

Gentle summer, you will stay

In my heart beyond the day
