Summer Hues - I

In the heat of Summer’s fiery reign,

Us, living beings, do not find much to gain,

Yes, our skin does indeed feel the burn,

Come, let us make these tables turn!!!

There are a few ways for one to fall into a cool trance,

Try to seek refuge beneath nature’s gentle embrace,

Where a whisper of breeze offers a cooling touch,

It will free our souls from the heat’s burning clutch.

Another way is to seek out the running waters,

Be it streams, lakes, oceans, or chilled rivers,

Plunge into their depths and feel bliss run wide,

As a relief from the sun's relentless stride.

Savor the taste of a watermelon or a mango!

Their juiciness feels like we’re dancing the tango!!!

From the watermelon's crisp and watery delight,

To a mango’s burst that invigorates our sight.

Embrace the sweet siesta of an afternoon's hush,

As your burning eyelids flutter in a tranquil rush,

In the quiet of dusk, one can find a calm and chilling embrace,

As the day melts to night, in a cooling grace.

Let that scorching heat rage on in a spree,

We will find ways to set ourselves free,

For in this blazing midst, we find serenity!

With some simple pleasures and nature’s delicious treats,

Let’s conquer the blaze with a cool defeat!!!
