To Summer Poem by Mohammad Yousef

By Mohammad A Yousef

Oh radiant season,
Your laughter spills like golden rays,
A symphony of warmth unfurling,
In the arms of fields aglow,
Where daisies nod in sun-kissed reverie
And the air hums with the buzz of life.

You come with your tapestry,
Woven in shades of emerald and sapphire;
The trees dance in your gentle embrace,
Leaves whisper secrets to the breeze,
While rivers gleam like molten silver,
Carving paths through the heart of green.

I long for your light,
The way it drapes over shoulders,
A tender cloak against the chill of shadows,
The way it ignites the horizon
With strokes of tangerine and blush,
As day surrenders to the symphony of dusk.

In your presence, laughter is the language,
Children chase fireflies,
Their giggles echo against twilight,
As the scent of jasmine lingers,
A sweet promise of nights unbound,
Where dreams unfurl like petals in bloom.

You bring the harvest,
A cornucopia of colors,
Tomatoes bursting with summer's sun,
Peaches that drip with the nectar of joy,
And the laughter of picnics laid out,
Blankets spread beneath the watchful sky.

But oh, how you slip through fingers,
A fleeting embrace of warmth,
As the days stretch and curl,
Like a cat basking on a windowsill,
Until the shadows grow long,
And the cool breaths of autumn whisper.

Yet, dear Summer,
You are a memory etched in the heart,
An echo of laughter, a dance of light,
A promise that lingers,
Even as the leaves turn to ember,
And the world wraps itself in a blanket of gold.

So here's to you,
In all your unbridled glory;
To the long, lazy afternoons,
To the stars that blanket the sky,
To the unquenchable thirst for adventure,
And the simple joy of being alive.

In the embrace of your warmth,
I am reminded,
That life is but a season,
And every moment,
A fleeting brush with eternity.
To Summer, I raise my voice,
In celebration of all you are,
A love letter to the sun,
A dance with time,
Forever cherished,
Ever remembered.
