Poem -
Summer Breeze
The palm trees sway in the summer breeze,
Lowering my stress, now released in ease.
The salt air flows; and enters my senses,
The sleepy sunset; lowering my defenses.
Anchored sail boats; rocking like a mother,
The child in me drifts, tide being my cover.
The horizon like an eyelid; closing its sight,
The wispy orange clouds; outline the night.
 First stars to appear; begin to wink at me,
 As if to say, we guard and also love the sea!
 Here I find solitude in the sand on my knees,
 Thanking my Lord, I can feel a summer breeze!

Wrote note to self after that "Spellbound " write, the ladies love the romance, lol! so I'm paying more attention to it in all aspects lol! thank you my friend! The song" Summer Breeze" by Seals&Crofts is one of my all time favs! and this painting reminded me of that !
Jim I believe your Summer Breeze would put Frank Sinatra's to shame.
Beautifully written and imagined and just the tonic the whole world needs right now.
đ pinned for perfection and full honours too and I wish you well Jim .
And Jim, you sir have a knack, a real poetry knack to raise all spirits when flagging, with your evident superb writing and rhyme.
Thanks for sharing my friend.

Hey JIM!!....In 1972 the song "Summer Breeze" went straight to the top of the pop charts.....and for a VERY good reason......the lyrics were STELLAR.....Written and performed by SEALS & CROFTS........personally, I Love that song ~ It's one of my favorites!! (you should check out that song and let me know what you think)......this poem rivals those lyrics......you continue to surprise the hell out of me.......excellent work here my friend!!........ALL STARS!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......Your cyber-friend and admirer!!........T xo ; )
Tony, that song is one of my all time favs as well and surely had much influence on this write. your assessment that this rivals it blows my mind! thank you for your kind words and uplifting comments! The comments I have received today give me hope, which I have little of these days, that my poems might be remembered and be of benefit! thank you my wonderful friend!
