I am perplexed by
The season of this morning
Cloaked in Autumn’s robes
I am kissed by Summer’s crown
But encased by Winter’s howl.
Tag: summer
How I laughed and cried,
Under your green canopy,
It was Summer then,
My Marvelous Sequoia,
But Autumn’s law will not yield.
Arise before dawn
Wrapped in a scarf of dewdrops
A pathway well worn
In pale concrete carpeting
Broken by gifts of music.
Sand between my toes
The sound of surf and seagulls
Sunscreen and wood smoke
A taste of salt in the air
Such sensory ocean sights.
Approaching our gate
Surcoat lined in silver swirls
This dark traveler,
A stranger to Summer Courts
With arms open, welcome him!
How about poppies
pleasing yellow-orange Flowers
rare in downtown, aye
yet moving your feelings right
i envy no daisy sway.
The wall loomed ahead
Ever intimidating
The wall stepped closer
I stood frozen and in awe
A wall made of water drops.
Can you imagine?
Longer days in the sunlight
Tall golden grasses
Humbled by a cloudless sky
A paradise lost to drought
Could this be the one?
The stone was cold to the touch,
Its edges rounded,
A solid teardrop in grey,
Perfect for the future flight.
The dive is graceful
Both swift and purpose driven
Toward the mirror lake
If only I had those wings
I could catch my reflection.
