Summer Came

We had summer for almost a week .. last week!
It came suddenly one day and blazed across the sky
With a haze so beautiful and blue
And clouds so white and soft.

First one day, then the next and more that followed
That I could not find any coolness and comfort
And the dampness on my skin
Felt just like a morning dew!

I don\'t like the heat. I am a cool person
The discomfort is unbearable and I try to hide
And find a place that\'s cool and comfy
And one that brings relief more bearable.

And then, suddenly came, one morning, the rain
I woke to it\'s welcome sound upon our roof
And smiled at the anticipated coolness
Both in air and within my own being.

Normality had returned
And I welcomed it so much.
