summertime

 summertime 


this contentment 

is like the edge of longing for yesterday

when what was to be was rounding the corner

the knowing that whatever came would be good 

and the sun would forestall every tear 

sunshine upon the bees of summer 

busy in the making of honey days and high teas 

and tennis on the lawns of long evenings

of such contentment as will last a lifetime of winters

the pollen a mist under a high sun

and summer only just begun
