Summer of Love

In '67, streets alive,
Peace and love began to thrive.
Hippies gathered, young and free,
Dreaming of a world to be.

Music played, a vibrant sound,
Psychedelic vibes abound.
Monterey's electric beat,
Bands and fans in joyful heat.

Tie-dye clothes and flowers bright,
Fashioned colors, pure delight.
Posters swirling, art that flowed,
Cultural seeds were widely sowed.

Voices raised, protests loud,
Marching in a hopeful crowd.
Against the war, for rights they fought,
Change was more than just a thought.

Haight-Ashbury, hearts unite,
Communal life from day to night.
Experiments with mind and soul,
Summer's love made whole and whole.
Psychedelic Art Fair

In the Season of Change

Whispers fly, leaves dance,Under sky, nature’s trance.Rustling sounds, tales profound,Nature’s symphony, all around.Crisp air, barren trees,Tales of summer, carried with ease.Autumn’s touch, painter’s grace,Hues brushed, time’s embrace.Shadows play, memories flicker,Dreams fade, hopes grow thicker.Change’s heart, autumn skies,New dreams born, old ones die.Branches sway, ballet free,Life’s rhythm, endless spree.Season of change, our part,Ever-turning wheel, life’s art….
