A Season of Summer.

A Season of Summer.

There was a story,
of a bear who fell in love with the ocean.
It was no ordinary ocean, but an ocean of summer that currented to his island
one day,
settling in as a neighbour.

The bear, one day
gingerly tested its waters, padded one gentle paw wet.
The water was salty and cool to the touch.
as if returning home from a long long walk, the bear waded into her.

She was a cool, welcoming, sweet body of liquid that embraced him whole.
If there was danger he ignored, for he had never felt water this way before.
As he lay there adrift, she hummed softly into his ear.
So he listened, dreamily he listened as the ocean sang:


“...so there in the immense blue they loved.
Like fire and like water entwined.
From sunrise to sunset
A cross and a parallel of two connecting minds..."


If there was love so scorching intense for a season,
this was it.  Nature's child bathed in nature love.


It was a season of summer, of love, of the sky painted in a thousand colours.
And as seasons do,
they come,
they stay,
and they pass.

The ocean wept precious stones for the bear to keep.
"Bury them in your heart and seek for their twin stars above,
 for every sparkle of a reflection you find in a quiet night sky
 is me thinking of you from afar."
