Lavender Clouds of Summer

Feel the breeze, feel the breeze as we hasten to the place

Through the trees, through the trees where the sun will end his race

We will see from the water’s edge what colors paint the skies

Wondering children gaze as pastels luminate our eyes

See the clouds, see the clouds as they’re dancing in his might

And the grass and the trees changing colors in his light

Don’t look away while it lasts or we must wait another day

Don’t take for granted all the graces that abide us in this way

Set us free, set us free from the burden for just a while

Let us see, let us see every face command a smile

Distant storms, and cloudy pillars on horizon silhouetting

Rising in his majestic light paying tribute to his setting

Oh hearken children, hearken to the strong man while rejoicing

Follow through follow through to the words that he is voicing

Illuminating others with the light while holding fast

And let us strive to be as the sun, most brilliant at its last

 Oh the day, oh the day how quickly does it end

Then the dark, oh the dark inevitably will rend

Days of adversity wait their turn causing us to wonder

If heaven will be forever like the lavender clouds of summer
