Fireworks

WFireworks
July is like a sparkler: 
bright, hot, and somewhat dangerous. 
Who can work, after all, 
in the languorous sun of a summer's day? 
Perhaps You made July as a lesson—
we, all of us, could use a break.

Even You.
I will use this month
to still my grumbling tongue,
and deliver to You only
the accolades of a long,
hot summer's day.

 

You are my pink lemonade,
my fireworks display.
You are heat and light
and marvelous wonder.

You are more rousing
than a parade,
more restful than a summer night.
You are my July.
