The Summer Wind
I haven’t written in a while
Not sure exactly why
But I think its because things have been good
And when things are good there isn’t always that fire
Except for one place
A place of passion and cool determination
A place where the fire department
Couldn’t put out the flames
But we’ll come back to that place later
For now it’s all sea breeze and sunshine
A summer at the Jersey Shore
Floating along with the summer wind
And what a delight
From the beach to the bay
Friends have stopped down
And partied the nights away
There have been boat rides and pool days
Fabulous food and fine wines
Beach runs and days spent watching the surf
Crashing down on the shore and retreating one more time
But back to the fire-
I lit the match
And the results have been searing
Like the sun beaming down from the sky
And like the forests ablaze out West
This fire roars with intensity
Traveling along, regenerating in its path
Stoked along by the summer wind
