Story Behind the Song
Summer was the only time I enjoyed while growing up. I pine for those days and I wrote this poem in that vein and it later became a contemporary piece of music for soprano, cello, and piano.
Lyrics
morning dew rests light against the sky
the earth’s warm sun fills my fingertips
the boundaries of my God life knows none.
refreshed in your spring,
cradled in your fall
life’s rich pageant, your bounty precedes me
and I am in awe of your serenity
II
sweltering, placid I go,
tall bending tree and grass, to the meadow
refresh me, covered in golden light
your shade invites me
warm summer slumber
as butterflies whisk by craving no other day
down lay my head, warm westerly winds
wash over me,wash over me, time to you,
I’m lost forever in this day.
III
coolness calls the evening to bed
awaken from the day am I
summer slumber slips away
crickets beckon darkness upon me
breathing deep the fragrant smell
corn, grass, floral wanderings
uniting earth and sky to one with me
calming blackness blows the breeze
fills nostrils with arid delight
all creatures of my God and King
revel in this ecstasy
as coolness calls the evening to bed
as coolness calls the evening to bed
