A hot day
The sun ascends, a blazing crown,
Its fiery rays cascade down.
The earth sighs under summer’s weight,
As heat wraps all in its embrace.
The air stands still, a heavy veil,
Cicadas sing their rhythmic tale.
Shadows shrink, a fleeting ally,
Beneath a merciless, cloudless sky.
Sweat beads trace a weary line,
As parched lips crave cool, sweet divine.
Yet in this heat, the heart still knows,
The beauty in the sunlit glow.
For even in the summer\'s blaze,
There lies a warmth that life conveys.
A reminder, amidst the heat,
Of nature’s pulse, its steady beat.
