Summer is in the heart

lazily drifting on the breeze  
scents of summer, jasmine and orange  
the sun tinging all with gold  
beneath skies of spotted blue  
the music of leaves, of crickets  
of midnight frogs in the trees  
soft grass between my toes  
the cool touch of the lake  
and ringing tones of laughter...

whatever season it may be  
summer is in the heart.
