Everlasting Summer Poem by Kevin Patrick

Green chapels swell under simmering noon
beaches, oaks and balms, blush in verdant plumes
gleaming glossy gowns of mint foliage
Serenely soothing doubts with its rustic dosage

Thick wooden bodies crowd, in gnarled partitions
brambles knot and lace assuaged incisions
with tangled limbs that twine in soaring canopies
leafing light to echo with emerald ecstasy

A square of earth peepholes with its primal vistas
Ferns and flower graze by deciduous sisters
And birds from lost times, squawk rhapsodic hymns
Filling their wide wings as the drowning blue sky brims

Hazy rays caress under titillating gusts
Humid air expires and wild grasses rust
And overhead the sun seethes a panting overflow
Leaving life to standstill in Eden's afterglow


And everything is submarine under vibrant colors
All that's old grows young again in everlasting summer
