Summer

There is an airiness to summer

Your pressure comes down

Like low-lying fog

Yes, under gravity we're all pressured

To run from door to door

Expecting a pay check that hopefully one day turns you into a landowner

And when the air gets colder

And the jingles praise a bearded man much wiser

Its melody rings in every store and every street corner

Suddenly the lights turn on

They're electric, man-made but colorful, red and green and it matches your sweater

But when you feel lonely

Winter makes you want to get older

But summer is airy

Suddenly time stands still

You are floating

A world of possibilities

And in the horizon

You see the magnificient sunset 

An orange color as bright as ember

Glowing and shining

But turning soft once it meets the optimism

Of the blue sky saying goodbye to Earth

And as all things change

The ashes of your past rise up

And float into the black night sky

Reminding you of all the time

You walked by the busy streets

And the bankers lit up their cigs 

Burning their will to live for capitalism

The summer changes things

The crickets sing a song of glee

And the stars compete with the moon

Who shines the brightest over the sea?

Even the sea partakes in it

Only they embrace the light 

And tell you that you are not scared of the night

You are scared of the reflection of the stars

The crystals on the sea turning

On and off like a switch

As bright and magnificent as Marilyn

Singing Happy Birthday to thee

While the beach whispers Happy life

Because in the middle it's difficult to celebrate

And by the end we all cry
