My Country Home in Summer Glow

Flowers bloom outside the room, the perfume keeps my mind astray. I thought too soon to go today and so I’ll stay till May or June.

Out in the country driveway car, the eastside star a wondry show. They hide way low and far to go from where they were to where they are.

All in time this season, this reason will provide a shaded canopy.

Papers pile in the hall way wall on shelves that call them where to stay. And there they lay too soon so late and I can’t bathe or bake or talk.

All in time these files for miles will recycle a forest of their own. And all in time my weight in paper will take on a life that I have known.

Now the equinox is here, my dear the maples cry for brown. And my friend might just come around and I will lie to hide his tears.

Glory green the lively scene, my country home in summer glow. Against the screen south window where blossom smells do move like steam.
