MIRRORS OF LIFE
I LOVE SUMMER RAIN
NOW SOME MAY CALL ME NOT TOO SMART
AND MOCK MY CHILDISH GAIN,
BUT I LOVE SUMMER SUN ALMOST AS MUCH
WITH IT'S HOT TOUCH
AS I LOVE SUMMER RAIN.
THE SUN CAN WARM THE CHILL AWAY
AND WIPE THE FLOWER'S DEWY FACE DRY,
BUT IT'S TEARS OF RAIN
THAT REMOVES MY PAIN
AND GROWS ME WINGS TO FLY.
AS THOSE DROPLETS DAINTLY WET
FALL ON MY UPLIFTED FACE,
IN YOUTH'S WILD GLEE
THEY FALL ON ME
AND DRIVE MY FEET TO RACE...
ACROSS THE YARD RIGHT PAST THE SWING
WHERE HOURS I TOUCHED SKY BLUE,
BRUISED LEGS STRETCHED HIGH
BARE-BOTTOM FEET AGAINST THE SKY
WHILE SOME BARON I DID PURSUE.
ACROSS THE FIELD, RAN I DID
FASTER THAN WIND THAT BLEW,
ACROSS THE TOPS
OF FORGET-ME-NOTS
RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF YOU.
SO THERE WE RAN SWEET SUMMER DAY
WHERE TIME AND SPACE DID CEASE,
WHERE YOUTH'S LAUGHTER WAS ALL WE HEARD
AND NOT ONE OTHER SINGLE WORD
THAT BROUGHT TUMULTUOUS RELEASE.
TOO SOON OLDST, ME EYES SEE DIM
THE SUN NO LONGER MY BEST GAIN,
MY LOVE, MY HEART, MY SOUL
REACCOUNTS THE AWESOME WHOLE
WHILE I.....I LOVE SUMMER RAIN!
