Indigo Summer

...my favorite season and a yearning mood...

Indigo Summer

Suburban scene, Glenellen Drive
Soft morning sounds, dusky rose following a
nightlong rain
Colors as soft as this new July day
slowly sneaking into a world still indigo quiet
Breakfast on the deck
with earth dry tan under the deck
dry earth beneath the heavily rainladen leaves of the trees

Lunch at the restaurant at the mall at the end of
Main Street, way cool blue
Bright colors in the windows of the
house at the end of the street at the
rim of the park
yellow and cranberry, with inner-city edge!
Now seen: clear skies and hot sun

And felt: humid nights and desperate, yearning
music, restless talk

Scene at the beach
hot sand, sparkling sand
wet sand and breaking waves
The night still desperate, white and hopeless
longing for dawn
while waiting in hope for hope
