A lazy summer stroll
Time stands still
The blue and white of the sky
The light rippling through the trees
It’s these dog days of summer
That I enjoy and rejoice
I wish time would stand still
And I could be forever in this moment
I savour it with all my heart
Walking with my dog
Through the fields and the shrub garden
Amongst the trees
Seeing the apples laden on the branches
The first of the walnuts on the ground
I drink in every moment
Of these dog days of summer.
