Holding Onto Summer Poem by Helen Gaudin

Holding Onto Summer



At the land's end the sea rolls up to the sky
Warm colours flow together
Like butterflies into heaven
Leading day joyously into night
I stand in the fading light
Tightly, holding onto this perfect day
The smells
The tastes
The joys
A breath, in drawn
Held for that long moment,
Focussed on absorbing every last sensation
Folding them carefully in my memories
So that this summer's day will never end.
