I love the Summer! A reflection on my favorite Season–Mid-Winter Crisis! amatuer prose by riveroflifelisajoy
The birds chirping
early in the morning
The sun begins to rise
around 5:30am
And I groan because
I see the slivers of sunlight
peaking through the shades of
my bedroom window
But alas I must arise for
it is Saturday in the
Summer!
To take a ride out
to oceans edge at
Far Rockaway Beach
To sit on th beach
early in the morning
Years ago the dogs we took
would chase the
small crests of the water
that rolled to the
beached crabs, and sea weed
The sunlight warm upon our
backs and the joy of life
warm within our souls
My child giggled and laughed
and played with the dogs
And I basked in the joy that
was his as his youth embraced
him gently
Oh, for that time today
here in February!
Although my birthday is
in February,
I would
have enjoyed a mid July
birthday in which
I could invite others
to spend an early
morning romp on
the beach,
an early morning
breakfast seaside
barefoot, warm
and casual
Elderly ladies wandering the sands
beach bagsand umbrellas
in hand
young couples at play
babies with their mothers
lay
on a beach towel,
or blanket
Oh how I wish for my Summer today!
Mid-Winter Crisis–
OH… do go away!
The yachts float by, showing off their
owner’s wealth,
I dream
and imagine myself
at the helm of that yacht
The seaguls cry
as air planes
streak the sky
sending messages
to us below
and the sporadic police,
or parks
department vehicles
that patrol the
sands,
The New York version of
BayWatch!
Oh yes, winter 2007 and 2008
have been
very nice!
No great squals,
or blizzards
But still deep in my midlife crisis
gizzard,
I yet yearn for
new life, new summer sun!
Look!
I want to get out
and have Summer fun!
The hope and joy
of Saturday morning
in the
summer!
Filled with the promise
of new experiences
Look, lets walk the Nautical Mile
Freeport is not far away!
Let’s go there today!
Oh, yes, I have it bad!
But yet I have it good!
Summer’s not too far away!
I will hold it together
just one more day!
