shifting away from June's bud br to leave dandelions scattered in the yard br this dawn of July br marks the end of a lie br a lie from past season br for a strong reason br br in July br robin will make herself shy br and cover her reddish breast br with her celestial hued crest br then flap her wings to fly br close against the sky br br i want to kiss July br and make July br lasting forever br in beauty but not ephemeral br br i will preserve July br on my canvas and with magic brush br so that she will be enthralled and blush br br i will paint July br with charming colour br so that she will be captured in delight br and her soul enraptured br br because my heart is in July.
