Snow-in-summer

Snow-in-summer

As I step outside 

And feel the summer breeze,

There you are. 

A brazen snowtop,

In the middle of a heat wave.

The ground is dusted in your glaring white.

You bring a smile to my face.

It is such a delight to see you again.

You present an icey exterior,

But I reach out to touch you,

The sunlight warms my fingertips.

Your silky smooth petals brighten the day.

Once again as I continue to walk,

Your presence brings life to my path.

The edges of sidewalks all dress in white.

A winter wonderland in July.

You make me wish for Christmas to come sooner.

Though I know, once it does,

Your ground’s occupancy will be over
