Dog Days of Summer

A lazy summer stroll

Time stands still

The blue and white of the sky

The light rippling through the trees

It’s these dog days of summer

That I enjoy and rejoice

I wish time would stand still

And I could be forever in this moment

I savour it with all my heart

Walking with my dog

Through the fields and the shrub garden

Amongst the trees

Seeing the apples laden on the branches

The first of the walnuts on the ground

I drink in every moment

Of these dog days of summer.
