Analysis of Summer Day's Query

In a late summer day back in August

Where we walked – hand in hand

The grass flowing in light wind around me

Waiting to catch me when I should land

And the horses which grazed the field

Free with their own reign

Glanced directly at you

And shook their regal mane

When – placed upon one royal steed –

There, sat I

Taking in the view with free

Trees and flowers rolling by

For once, I recognized, at last,

What my life had become

And decided, that to relish life,

I must never live, for anyone

To live only for myself

Is what I realized that late summer day

But beside me sat you

In a dream, whisked away

With the sun setting on the horizon

Colors melting in the sand

And we held each other tight like children,

Scared – on burning land

I mused, “We must never live for anyone”

But for you, I could display

My love and endless affection

Yet I knew I must live another day

On that late summer day back in August

Where we slept – hand in hand

The grass cushioning our bodies

Holding us with careful hands

I felt comforted – by the world

Understood what life must be

To live a life so privileged

Yet not live at all, gallantly
