Summer’s Fading Glow
The warmth of summer sunshine on golden afternoons,
A fleeting dance with time, like waning crescent moons.
The laughter of children in the lazy midday haze,
Echoes of innocence lost in a sunlit maze.
Golden sands beneath barefoot steps, soft and warm,
A memory’s embrace, a sunlit storm.
Ice cream cones that melted too fast,
A sweetness gone, a moment past.
The hum of cicadas in the quiet afternoon,
A melancholic melody, a fading tune.
Sunflowers bowing under the weight of the sun,
Petals whispering tales of summers undone.
The splash of water in the backyard pool,
A shimmering mirage, a cooling jewel.
Long shadows stretching as the day grows old,
A story of summer, by time, gently told.
A sun-kissed memory, a touch too bittersweet,
The warmth of summer’s glow, a farewell in the heat.
