You come along more slowly now as we all wait in anticipation.
Some hopeful some fearful some not even caring about you summer.
Summer
Who gave you your name? When were you labelled and heralded as a king? King of the seasons, Autumn,Winter,Spring and then you. The four seasons making up a year. Who made a year? Then the seasons start all over again.
Summer
You give me hope as I see evidence of your power in creating harmony.
Summer
I am fearful that your power will destroy so much of our food supply.
Summer
Who are you? I know you not at all because I have no learned words.
Summer
Summer I will explain, you are the source of energy that rotates our home called earth. You summer help me to embrace the freedom of who I am.
Summer
I can embrace you openly of all the seasons and meet you naked and unashamed.
Summer
I await your coming with eager anticipation. I have hope in the moment as we meet. I am not fearful because I have hope. I have love because I have hope and faith because I know. I know That as long as there is Summer love abides in my heart.
Summer
My spirit is fed by your presence and yet. I know without the other seasons nothing would function.
Summer
The moral for this tale as I explore what summer means is life changing for me.
Summer you are honoured and powerful because you have the support of your seasonal partners. Autumn,Winter and Spring. All equally valued all equally needed to created the whole called ‘life’ as we know it.
Summer and seasons ‘I shine in your presence’
The greatest gift of all is Hope,Love and Faith and from that place of understanding we are THE PRECIOUS PRESENT to ourselves and to share with each other. Then like Summer we have found our true meaning our power.
Like each season and you Summer we can embrace the meaning of life.
