Summer Serenity

Another day ends.
And the summer night is falling.
I take my repose
On the front porch swing that's calling.

The warm breezes make
The scent of honeysuckle rise.
The yard is awash
With the twinkling of fireflies.

Katydids and tree frogs
Start to sing their evening chorus.
Their songs echo loudly.
From the dark, lonely forest.

The moon is full and bright.
And reflecting upon the lake.
I hear the gentle sounds
Of the lapping waves as they break.

I close my eyes and breathe
In the peace and serenity,
For it's only here that I
Regain my hope and sanity.
