Summer

"When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside." ~Rumi

Because there are bigger truths to face and scarier demons to fight. Because there are times to hold on and time to let go.

Summer
By: Akhilesh Agarwal

The life ran over your mangled body

I saw that the sky was yellow bright

You breathed in the concrete and sweat

I hate summers now

You shone like my backyard bulb

Bright, time-light

You laughed like the ocean

Vast, free

You left without a trace

A pathetic eulogy was sung

Sung on that spit summer day

I hate summers now
