Wrapping arms tightly around the grey cloud in the sky the sunshine warmly smiled saying 'no more need to cry' 'You're done today, your tears have fed the world down there below but now it's time to rest and let my smiles now gently glow'

I have written of winter, the chill and the rain and the ice and the snow and the shivers again of the iron cold muster that lingers and bites finding its way into warmth with a spite But throughout all of this always I have half a mind on the warmer days coming I know soon I'll find For it's January now but soon I'll see May and the sunshine that'll soon brighten my day
It rained and rained and blew and blew felt as it it almost knew the sunshine there to long eschew and me inside to stay The puddles outside deepened still they lake-like flowed and rippled til the fickle weather made me ill and added to the fray But then the sunshine threw its toys out of its pram and with good poise revealed the warmth its strength employs to welcome a new day
Across the way St James' Tower its clock face in the sun as morning breaks in London and the night time is all done There's promise in that glow of a lovely day to come the sky already cloudless blue the rain there quick to shun
We're settling in to Autumn as the summer is now done daylight fades at teatime and there's more rain now than sun But still some strength there sometimes when the bright one gets its way so we're not prepared to throw the towel just yet, least not today
Some say it debilitates that may be true yet never from sunshine you'll see me eschew for as had been said here many times in the past I was born of the summer and that fact will last So to sunshine and warmth I will gravitate and promulgate all its virtues so you'll understand
Yellow, warming, lifts my soul Catches me and comforts. Gives me strength Encourages smiles when smiles are scarce. Breathes contentment. It is a friend, closer in the summertime; More distant in winter chill. But always there. Always listening. Always rooting for my best interests. It is lavender and jasmine and honeysuckle Combined and lingering in the evening air.
Sunshine of a morning from my window up here high shining on the hilltops as the early birds go by It's great to see it every day it seems this summer here as it brings a peaceful feeling and fills my heart with cheer
This time of year with pen in hand I'll sit down in my garden and as sunshine warms and shines and does what in July it will because this is summer, so will I sit down and watch as time goes by and words may come. they often do reflecting on a whim eschewed crafted from a poet's mind inspired here by the sun I find
The mercury climbed to forty for the hottest we had seen records broken everywhere from what they once had been and everybody moaned as no infrastructure here to cope with extreme weather when the high is in the clear Ice-cream sales and paddling pools brought respite here to some but most of us just melted in this gorgeous summer sun

Sitting in Newcastle Tap here on Neville Street I've had a lovely pizza and the beer's going down a treat Outside Newcastle sunshine though chillier up here shines as evening shadows fall and I enjoy this beer By and by I'll take a stroll as this time is all my own so I may as well enjoy it all these many miles from home
Those fields of long summers I expect to remain returning to them again and again with more adventures to come in grass baked by the sun and in old age have days filled with laughter and fun
In fields of long summers the colours of yellow was ever there present for this happy fellow reflecting the sunshine to which he was born those summers were everything as per the norm
In fields of long summers I ran around free full of the joys of just being me All of the innocence given to youth revealed in those moments full of the truth and the sunshine was there as it always was for this was the summer and simply because
In fields of long summers explored as a child seeking out blackberries that grew in the wild Enjoying adventures in grass under sun those were the days of laughter and fun
With 'Dog Days' just beginning July the first is here for long hot days of summer the ones I most revere A child of summer born and bred these are the days for me getting browner in the sunshine on the beach beside the sea
The grass on the allotment was very long indeed the no-dig plots were overgrown and needed thorough weed but after we had strimmed it it once again took shape so I don't thinks it will be too long now til we make it start to grow some produce for our table and for more to brighten up this place which both Sal and I adore
Maybe May will find me on the beach once more as warmer days get warmer and summer waits in store Maybe May will be the one to see those doors flung wide for long days in the sunshine no more the place to hide Maybe May will see these things as they're the thing to do for the fifth month and summer are quite symbiotic too
At the end of April, summer made an early show of hand as the sun shone warm on Sussex fair across this pleasant land So I put a best foot forward took advantage with no shame once more into the hedgerow bordered pathways, trails and lane Exploring parts of Sussex I had never been before in this lovely springtime sunshine as that's just what it is for
Small yellow in my garden at the bottom in the sun caught my eye this morning now the winter time is done I don't what its name is but it grows here every year yellow in Spring sunshine so for me has purpose clear It's there to play a rhythm to accompany the song that rises with crescendo to play all summer long
Found a pool of golden sun knew that Spring had now begun and I'd once more found the one proving winter blues are done
Here I am, smitten once again head over heels a poor Romeo with the beauty of your face and the radiance around as throughout each day you tread
