Last Monday in July: Poem

 

Last Monday in July

Last Monday in July’s dawn

In the end of this week

Has big personal secret ties.

I acknowledge rhythm of divines

As my sacred gifts

My birthday that comes.

July brought lessons

And blessings, or both

Of the midsummer seasons.

July released services

And promises

By welcoming August’s trusts

That keeps gentle hearts

To embrace late summer postcards

And taste the sweet torts,

Celebrating the birthday month

Wrapped in vibrant comes

To take a moment to reflect

On what lies ahead.

August mornings and evenings

Have fairy-like attributes

Of early springs.

August helps us to repose

Before desires and thoughts

Doing some big things

Like great epic deeds.

Opportunity for the profoundest links

Kicks, kicks.
