Summer's Magic
This is what happens when a person is confined to specific things in poetry. Please tell me how to improve this sad and dreadful poem

Summer’s Magic
Oh of the brightest season’s mighty bewitching power!
When sun’s dawn comes, the fair blossoms upon the Cherry Tree
Shall be seen by any a viewer where the flowers of the slain lie
That blood-red fruit of the twilight shall spill to the ground like split doom
Behold the royal trees of the Sierra’s Hills
Their trunks are titanic, their leaves majestic
Though they are so far from the view of any common mortal
Even a thousand miles cannot diminish their beauty
That song of the sweetest orange finch
How softly harmonious and melodiously meticulous is her pleading call
The sounds of the rolling wind across the verdant grass
Their zephyrs sooth the greatest pains of existence
Summer, the age of the dominion of light is nigh
The crescent moon of the spring wanes to a broken sphere
But the prisoners of the prison of books are freed from their bondage
They can roam now, to be free and without a care in the world
Ah, that once upon a time when life is young
When all is exuberance and play, and there is no worry
How I miss that time of ignorance and of bliss
Of climbing the oak trees, of swinging across the forest
But free I am no longer in the summer years
The need comes for me to do what I must and tarry upon my tall prison
There are manacles upon my feet, chains across the soul
Freedom is a gift, and summer is the time to use that gift
But men are a race of iron and not gold, and know little of contentment
We’re all fools in the end and life is but a game we play until we wake
Taking up the roles we appoint to ourselves, our masks, our identities
Why can’t we just be ourselves and not someone else?
Why can’t people act like they did in the summer days?
Is simplicity too hard to ask in this gray world when dusk arrives?
Of that answer, I know naught but I see one thing:
Summer has its own magic, a wizardry in which happiness abounds
