~~May Serenade~~

Suddenly,
The frosty days are put to rest
As winter turns to spring
WI cast my eyes up to the sky
To what this month will bring.

A day when dark clouds gently brew
With not one leaf a stirring
When thunder peals as lightning cracks
A raging storm, enduring.

As shifting winds blow here and there
Without a rhyme or reason
When March fades to April and then May
A turbulent sort of season.

I've waited long for nature's song
For freshness in the air
For rainy days and purple haze
For breezes sweet and fair.

A time of kites and windy days
A time when dreams are made
A time when nature alchemy connives to outwit age

Its piercingly sweet elegance cuts my breath in half.

As with other unfathomables
The fragrance of lilies is a mystery of the ordinary,
Perhaps, a sacramental leading to deeper mystery
A celebration of the unending serenity…

The earth shies away like a demure damsel
Drops of rain nest on me
Calms, soothes and caresses me
With sensuous innocence all over
An assemblage for the manna from heaven
A glorious May day serenade ...
