Ode to Summer

Summer, I miss you

as you were in my childhood years

always warm

and with grass growing wild

ready for cutting and waking to that sound

Summer, you presented yourself

everyday with sun

every day inviting for a dip in the pond

everyday inviting for a barefoot run

Summer, I hid under my blanket for hours 

cause of the bumble bee flying around my room

That's how I miss you

when I knew the days were so long

so free

and so wonderful

Rays of sunshine pouring through leaf filled branches

as amazingly summerly

as making snow angels is winterly

I miss you fresh and airy

goose bumps ice cream caused

running lightly cheering for passing trains

we had one and to, three

infinite 8 weeks

more than 50 days of pure freedom

an eternity laying in the field with flowers

and teddy shaped clouds above

vacation just as vacation was made to be

Summer, when do we meet again?

Pictures from yesterdays trip with the boat out in the fjord. 

Shrimps and white wine, a swan and the sunset. 

Lovely. :)

Poem by me, translated from norwegian from this post last year:
