Analysis of Summer Breath
Look to the sky for me, my love,
Without the tears of the fading blossom,
For I will go as far as you will take me.
Let the day begin with sunlight on green stillness
and the hot breath of summer
Cascading into gentle sounds of comfort.
I'll wait for you in that breeze.
Between folly and fame I will choose the ease
of the daydream,
And in it I will build a place for you.
Do you sleep and wait for me to come?
Or can you let the day end,
as it began,
Without madness.
