Sun lay warm upon the chest
Shoulders softened into rest
Joy arrived like ripened fruit
Nothing loud nothing acute
Laughter bright as clover fields
Even fear forgot its shields
Arms knew ease without a guard
Living simple breathing hard
Heat held love like amber stone
Stillness tasted honeyed tone
Moments stretched like velvet lanes
Light dissolved the leftover pains
Summer does not beg to stay
It shines full in brief display
Trust the warmth embrace the flame—
Joy returns without a claim
