Summer Lace

The shadows fall like summer lace
       Through palm trees fluttered in the sun
The soft caress of dawning breeze
                      Invites my senses to be spun

With every step in wonderland
                 The crystal blues of morning sky
Intend to lift my feet, as they              
                         Await for me to learn to fly

As day begins a brand new page
                  On which to write another verse
My mind, as one with nature’s love
                      Takes off, creation to traverse

For what, with song of daybreak’s dove
               Could keep a soul to tethered rein
When ecstasy of rainbow’s hue
                  Can heal the most defining pain

As shadows fall like summer lace
                    To bless my path in fauna’s art
I’m open to a whole new world 
           With thoughts of love to fill my heart
