Summer has No Doubts

<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

About her own body
summer has no doubts
pressing you close
with her loose rhythms
and wet loyalties
while graciously the sun
lets down its hair
holding back nothing,
the light so strong
buds break through
trees\u2019 toughness
to muscle
fully into the world.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0You wonder,
during winter\u2019s fierce grip
is summer a blossom\u2019s
most luscious fantasy
and do trees dream?
Even the dirt
is revealing itself
as roots plunge deep,
deeper, into the yielding dark.<\/p>\n

Once more,
faith has bloomed
in Earth\u2019s hips and lifted up
its green and golden praise
so even you begin
to move again
like any body of water
towards its source.<\/p>\n

Whatever the losses,
you know
summer comes
and goes
but will never leave you.<\/p>\n
