A summer's day — Summary

KGBlackCheerful

The sun covers me in a warm blanket. It feels my sorrow and tells me it's okay. I never felt such support before.

It won't rain today. I know it won't, Because here life is better now.

The gentle breeze blows my hair, And sways my body gently. Like a windchime hung on a tree, I sing out a chaotic song.

It won't rain today. I know it won't. My heavens filled with fire, And eternal warmth.

On a warm summer day, the speaker feels held by the weather itself. The sun is like a blanket that senses their sorrow and offers reassurance, and the speaker admits they have never felt such support before. That line hints at earlier loneliness, though the poem never says what caused the sadness.

The repeated lines "It won't rain today. / I know it won't" work like a quiet promise the speaker makes to themselves. They also suggest a new confidence: "here life is better now" implies a move from a harder place or time. In the third stanza, the speaker becomes a windchime swaying in the breeze, singing a "chaotic song." The word "chaotic" is interesting, because it suggests the feelings are not neatly settled, yet they feel free and unashamed. The ending, with heavens "filled with fire, / And eternal warmth," pushes the mood toward hope and release. Overall, the poem feels gentle, grateful and quietly joyful.

Growing up

Isn't it sad, How parents always say "Oh I missed the old you." How they so casually mourn your death

Butterfly graveyard.

In a field of butterflies, One flies damaged not too high. All the others laugh and shout, You dont matter just give up.

Regret

Rage filled tears that stain your face. Broken hearts, a shattered vase. Stop, you're saying things you don't mean. Breath in. Breath out.
