The last summer day



THE LAST SUMMER DAY

On a summer day
The best time to come out and play
Me and my friends were doing the same
In the first week of May
Streaming sweat on our forehead
Our hair as dry as hay.
A drop fell on my forehead
Cooling it and reminding us
That it was the last summer day
Then I looked up to see
What interrupted us at play
Then was when I noticed
The blue sky turning grey
More drops followed the first
Quenching the warm land’s thirst.
A roar of thunder came loud
Made the sun run behind the cloud
We ran back home, by my mother’s call
And at home, sticking my nose on the window
There were lots of things I did see

I saw the world shower
Washing the roads clean
The stormy wind’s power
Made the towers seem to lean
There was a splash of water
Which washed the world clean
The trees swayed along
For the wind’s playful song
The sky scolded the sea
And seized the vast sky
But Posideon’ s rage was no less
And shook the sea with might

But soon, the storm stopped,
With a smile, the sun appeared
Drops of dew on the window pane,
Like diamonds they glittered
I smelt the fresh air
And saw the world bright
The birds chirped again, the weather so calm
I smiled, for i knew, the picture was much clearer.
