when summer begins
there are no uses for rules
the sun above is soaring
the kids are out of school
but I look forward to winter
and I hope that it will snow
but for right now, it's summer
two more seasons to go
when summer begins
morning light comes early
the sky bursts in freedom
and the sun has no worries
but me, I do not celebrate
because I can't agree
all this joy and glory
seem inaccurate to me
when summer begins
dragonflies and hummingbirds ride
down across a tiny breeze
that does its work outside
but I remain in one place
staring at a screen
questioning my sitting here
like I'm some kind of machine
when summer begins
the robins sing their song
the squirrels jump and run
like they have been all along
while I wait for winter
to show its face again
I always go outside
when summer begins
