    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
