When Summer Is Gone

When summer is gone
  I’ll cling to her last       sunbeam
    bask in the warmth of her eyes
      and smell deeply the roses of her bloom. 

When summer is gone
  I’ll hear the music she had played
    with      endless passion     in her voice
      her slender fingers found notes
        that pierced my soul. 

When summer is gone
  I’ll see her run through the waves
    laughing at the crazy seagulls
      hopping over beach towels
        wet and tossed 
              like scattered     memories.    

When summer is gone
  I’ll cry for her with a heavy heart
    realizing she is really      gone
      and I’ll ache inside with a deep longing
         to cling to her     again     once more 

                 when summer is gone.
