"Destined Minds"

"SUMMER'S LADY"

and times hands, the shadows playfully
caressed her beasts
as filtered sunlight through the many
fingers of green leaves danced as
the sun set in the west

for she had no where to be
and spent her day lying in the fileded
grasses her summer so care free

The wind it played it's music
rustling from tree to tree
and it too joined the cicada
chorus, creating harmony

and the birds they gathered upon
the lowered boughs and branches
to greet summers lady fare

to find a lady so free of spirit
in the forests clearing,
all agreed was rare

and watched they as now her lover
joined her on the forest floor
and by her side laid there

as their bodies melted in mid summers
heat, for the song of summers passions
pure loved was declared.
