Finally Summer Found Me Smiling

On a Monday morning
The sky is wide awake
She is an elven maiden with open arms
The sun is Queen once again
Amid kowtowing cumulus clouds
Nestled in her northern nook

Sadness has finally left me
But I hope not for only a while
O Happiness, will you stay long
Enough for a Stonehenge in my heart to rise?
