A Summer Day Poem by Billy Loving

A day like any other
Nothing special, just another
Sun is shining above
Type of day I love
Wind blowing through the trees
Caressing breeze
Warmth on my skin
Serenity within
On their way they go
I hear the geese down below
Direction always the same
Wondering from whence they came
Helicopter goes by
As I stare at the sky
Birds singing in the tree
All as peaceful as can be
Snake slithers through the grass
As I watch it pass
Gator, the salamander she seeks
Redundancy goes on for weeks
Cat checks for food
As I sit and brood
My eyes growing weary
As the world turns bleary
From consciousness I slip
As through my memories I flip
Sleep, it overtakes
Subconscious, it awakes
