Whispers of Resilience - A Vision of Summer 2024 00010- upscaled

A Hopeful Summer's Whisper

 

In the lap of a warming globe, where CO2 blankets thickly lie,

Europe faces its looming trials under a changing sky.

Rains descend with might, where once a drizzle sufficed,

Floodwaters swell like sorrow in nature's tear-filled eyes.

 

Yet amidst these tempests and trials, hope dares to grow,

In the shy whisper of leaves, in every seed we sow.

Blooms dare to colour the grey with hues bold and bright,

Grasses dance in meadows, bathed in summer's light.

 

Floods challenge our resolve, test our will to mend,

But within our hearts, a naive faith that the strife will end.

Might the summer of twenty-four, not just bring heat's fierce wave,

But also cradle a season of growth, generous, long, and brave?

 

For in this era of fierce heat and floods, life resiliently clings,

To the promise of fruitful days, where every creature sings.

Humans, plants, and beasts alike dream under the same sun,

Of a 2024 summer, bountiful, benevolent, and won.

 

Haiku 1:

Summer storms unfurl,

Leaves whisper, "All will be well,"

Hope blooms 'neath the rain.

 

Haiku 2:

Warmth swells; rivers rise,

Yet sunlit petals promise,

Joyous days ahead.
