   Ah, dang. Those summer loves that just melt away. You’ve captured the feeling so well in this.

   There is so much beautiful sadness in the phrase “shimmered away.” Like a mirage, fading slowly. Tugs at my heart.

   I like the “late mornings and early elation.” A damp summer doesn’t sound like my kind of summer, ha–I like ’em hot. A very nice capture here.

   This made me sad because I hate when summer ends. It could be summer forever and I’d be happy.

   shimmered away…love, innocence…a wistful poem this is. And sad. But true and not maudlin. I like this poem very much. I truly enjoyed reading this.

   Really hard to realize that something that meant so much could just shimmer away never to be experienced again. Truly hard on the heart…well done!

    I think tears shimmer when summer (and love) is over…

    Oh somehow summers always end, and even if they are damp we love them and what they bring.
