The Fragility of Tranquility
These are days of endless summer
as we bow in defeat to heat
wilting petals fall at our feet
sun pounding down, a mad drummer
while we long for winter’s slumber
Morning dawns in tranquility
light breaks through with fragility
awash in a rose colored sky
so we lift our weary heads high
banishing our humility

One of my favorite songs! It forms a lovely counterpoint to the exhaustion & acceptance in the poem, the end-of-summer weariness that is definitely present whenever we walk out the back door but alleviated by the blooms and the breezes.
