Golden Summer

I can taste Summer’s arrival announcement in the air,
Like honey dripping from Heaven onto an endless green mat.
Another stop on Destiny’s Island -
A far away bugle calls from the final shore.
My spirits lift as I recall something quite like it,
My soul’s longing memory of a golden past realm.
And through the thick, creamy stench of sunscreen,
And the bubbly warmth upon this pink beach at sunset,
I sense within me a summer I’ll never forget.
