There are two lyrics
About summer,
One hangs in space,
Obligated by the sun
And the sound of ocean waves,
Obscured under the shades of green cliffs;
The other one is abstract,
Kept alive by spirits
And the bubbles of your dreams,
Deflected from the reality
of conflicts and grieves.
Thoughts linger in minds,
Fish swim in waters,
Pumpkins ripen on vines,
and the direction of the wind matters
Because it defines your beliefs.
The images of the Fall season mark a future
In nature
That spans the gap between the unknown
And the known.
It is late August,
Don't dwell in the bathtub for too long,
Listen to your favorite summer song
Before it is completely gone!

The songs of summer, I love your Magpie!
What a lovely poem, and what a great tribute to summer! I am always so impressed with writers and poets that can express themselves in such a lyrical way! thank you for stopping by my post and I am now a follower!
It does linger in my dreams and I do rush outside to enjoy it as it is rapidly moving on.
A beautiful and charming magpie, Jingle. And you are so right - live life, don't dwell :D
Lovely!
Of course, you are about to lend the summer to us for a while - yippee!
Jingle this is so charming and unique...i love it. :-)
beautiful imagery created by your words :) lovely
Great thought of Summer Jingle, and yes you should all make the most of it up there in the Northern Hemispere, we will be next.
How sweet, I love how I can actually smell summer's scent with your poem! enjoy the bath, but don't forget, summer will end too fast! Nice
very sweet, ji, loved it xx
yeah - who would want to stay in the bath tub when summer is on your front door...
You are so right, time to get out of the tub and embrace summer, lovely magpie.
winter brings on the hot bath
whereas summer brings on swimming outdoors in the sun
Nice take on the photo..

Good bye hot hot summer. You don't have to go home but you have to get out of here. Winter is going to be welcome.

It seems that we've been contemplating the same subject! :)

I 've just read the Magpie Tale of Vicki Lane! That's very good. Your poem is great. Have a wonderful, Jingle!
Love it, Jingle! Inspiring indeed!
Dear Jingle,
I love the idea of baths in the summer...letting life pass you by.
Dear Jingle,
I love the idea of baths in the summer...letting life pass you by.
I will follow your advice, and not linger!!
there are two lyrics about summer, and we got to listen to both a little with your truly amazing description.
Sounds like one should not blink as they will miss summer for good this year...good poem...enjoy as well Jingle and thanks for sharing also(+)

Oh, yes, it will soon be gone! Wonderful write.
Jingle,
Nice reminder to grab summer while you can. There'll be time to soak in the tub when winter comes.
rel
Great Jingle...yes we must grab these last days of summer....blessings...bkm
Written like a true lover of summer. I can feel the joy of summer, and the sadness in knowing it fades away into fall.
Ah, the bubbles of your dreams... so fleeting!
Nice Magpie, Jingle!
This really makes me wish we'd had a summer this year instead of crops coming in late while leaves are already turning. Yes, perhaps a nice soak will make me forget the weather is turned upside down. August is finally June but too late to matter.
I love summers and your poem described the most exciting feeling of a nice fresh summer day.... a bright sunny magpie... loved it.
Thanks for visting my blog.
Really lovely poem that bring fresh and bright thoughts of summer. Makes me wish the season lasts just a little longer!
heheheh.. loved the way you ended it.. It was a shout out to all the lazy people out there! ;-)
A beautiful piece, Ji... from start to finish, it was masterfully done... keeping the positivity alive, inspite of the changing seasons!
A fascinating read!!!
Jingle this is lovely, I am glad I found Magpie through your blog my first was great fun! Cannot wait to see what you write for next week!
