Symphony of Summer

I used to hear strings

As the wind rustled the trees

While the sun struggled to shine

Through the canopy above

I used to hear percussion

While the rain hit the roof

The thunder boomed

In the stormy sky

I used to hear a choir

When the birds sang their songs

Sweet melodies of loneliness

To find the perfect one

I used to hear

The symphony of summer

As I laid in the sun

And forgot about the world
