Summer is my favorite season & August, my favorite month. August: 31 days, no holidays, vacation. I am my most content in late summer & I always a bit bittersweet to say goodbye to the season. The summer smiles.
The summer smiles
The summer knows
& unashamed
She sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes
The restless sky
& lovingly
She warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows
The summer’s wise
She sees the doubts
Within your eyes
& so she takes
Her summertime
Tells the moon to wait
& the sun to linger
Twist the world
Round her summer finger
Lets you see
The wonder of it all
& if you’ve learned
Your lesson well
There’s little more
For her to tell
One last caress
It’s time to dress
For fall...
Marilyn & Alan Bergman
1971
