the boys of summer


from the dawning of a new day brimming with possibility, heralded in by liquid golden sunlight...

 
to the invigoration of the ocean, pumping life to the spirit as blood does the body...

 
the boys and girls of summer leave their footprints behind but take their memories...


velvet green swathes of sugarcane sweeten the air, luscious - redolent...
and surrender their hold on the earth as the mighty Zinkwazi scythes through - to rest awhile at the lagoon before joining the sea...
the celestial veil rests gently over the place of the fish eagles...




there's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free - don't miss so many of them...
'sunset is still my favourite colour & rainbow is second'...mattie stepanek


good night sugar bay...
