AN IDYLLIC EMBODIMENT OF SUMMER

Walk peacefully in the new day,
Freely away from the homestead,
Monumentally past the gum trees,
Blissfully down the gentle slope,
Happily through the flowering meadow.

Recline idly near the tree-lined river,
Comfortably upon the green grass,
Calmly in the safe seclusion.

Gaze aimlessly into the blue sky,
Enjoying its placid genius,
Content with the timeless pleasure
Of passing in a leisurely way -
One
Emimently,
Innocent,
Idyllic, 
Summer 
Day.
