July Approaches

Warm summer winds blow
Memories of life carefree
Spring’s blossoms vanished

Moments flickering
Ever so briefly shining
Glimpse living sunlight

As I lay dozing
Resisting this wakefulness
Longing for more rest

The faded calling
Winter’s voice now is silent
Longing for coolness

The air caresses
Gently through my hair, my skin;
A life, wild, free

Sky, absent the sun
The stars are comforting me
Familiar friends

Forcing upon skin
The beauty of cloud-free skies
Sometimes there is fire

Where can we go now?
Once the dreams are accomplished
Yet there’s much more life

“Almost” escaping
Leaving my lips far too fast
Birthing new regrets

An empty focus
Driving towards reflexive goals
Neglecting one’s soul
