Summer Afternoon

You are the beautiful summer afternoon

Where the wind gently blows

And the sunlight dance with the cloud

A time to sat and watch white rabbit that ran

Making comments about the little girl that follows

And oh that angry, angry little red queen

A time to drink a proper 1420, rare as it is

Just after afternoon tea and right before dinner

And smoking that good pipe-weed

A time to raise the tent for proper celebration

Even knowing death eaters are near

Because there's always time to celebrate love

You are the calm, quiet time

A safe space after scorching midday heat

A resting phase before the night's adventure

You are the place to let the sweats dry

A place to smile and laugh after the tears

The soft grass to lie and nap and finally feel safe

Days will be short, night will be long

Yet that summer afternoon will always be there

I know now it will.
