And Still, Summer
Light white sun warms earth,
The soil soaks in ripe rich rains.
My tired heart sickens.
Heavy feet tread forth.
Dry mouth tastes no ripened fruit.
The grey clouds depart.
Life blooms in the world
after snows have failed to claim.
I am cold and pale.
He does not walk now.
He cannot call me home, sweet.
And still, Summer comes.
