Summer Ii Poem by Aaron Myers

'Summer swallowed us whole'
The sun drew us out from the safety,
from the log fire that once lit your eyes
Along a path that looked so appealing.
We followed it across the road and past the church.

The sand that tricked us
and the sea that moved us.

'Summer swallowed us whole'
And nothing's built to last.
The long days tricked us into thinking
We had all the time in the world.

Autumn passed me by,
Winter took our warmth,
Spring gave hope.
