The World Spinning Around Us

Cloudless skies shimmer with rapturous sunshine –
Warm temperatures in the region,
With help from gentle breezes,
Extend their joyful presence toward the pristine coastline;
Speedy cars, trucks, and motorcycles dominate the roads
And highways with their inglorious movements,
While many folks circumvent these private and industrious
Travel modes by taking public means,
Seeking out restaurant, shopping, and movie-going destinations.
The world spinning around us passes
From daytime to nightfall,
As cameras photograph the gorgeous spectacle
Of human interactions, activities,
And divine weather –
Outdoor dining, barbecues, and beaches
Highlight a summer of relaxing and entertaining times
In these fun-filled staycations close to home...
