Summer Magic
 
      This summer magic   Makes us young again,   And sends us forth   In re-found innocence   To marvel at the grass-heads    As we lie   And bask like turtles   At the river's brim.     From wishes blown in   Dandelion fluff,   Our eyes awake to wonder   At the dance   Of fireflies   As dusk falls on the trees   And meteors make    Lines across the sky.     These heights of summer,   Coming in our prime,   Recall us, with   The wisdom of our years,   To turn again and ponder   Whence we came   And stir our souls to    Search for simpler things   And see the splendor of them,   And be glad.         Written in response to Art Stew 52 prompt: Summer Magic
