A Poem – Week Twenty-Two

This poem, which was written on July 12, 1997, is about looking for a metaphorical summer.

Searching for Summer

We are searching for summer

Around every corner

And down every street

Looking for something more

Whenever we meet

We are looking for something

More than a lover or friend

We are searching for summer

That we don’t want to end

We don’t want a sizzle

We are looking for a fire

We are looking for the heat

To fulfill our desires

We are past the cold winter

And are through with spring

We are searching for summer

To give us everything

When we find our summer

It will be forever 

We searched for summer

And we found it together.
