Another Key

 

The intense power of summer

Sinks its sweetness into every pore,

The heat, the humidity, the storms,

The full moon nights pulling you

Tight to breast, illuminating the

Women in the circle in the clearing

In the woods, the lone mystic

Meditating on the stones near

The sea, the scents, the sounds

Of sunshine, indelible tracings of

Lovers beneath the trees, the

Haunting echo of summers that

Used to be, summers still to come,

Oh yes summer, the season

That reveals another key.
