fly away

yet light shines on
in the garden

the blushing dusk
closes a splendid day

a moment
in the sun

refreshed by
a splash of color

on red wings

summer flew in
on the wide blue sky
and landed in the greening field

makes its way
across the lawn of summer

a yellow serenade
to summer and her sunshine

royalty and the working class
share the same sun
