Adrift In July

Born in July, I’m a water sign, so the water lily is an appropriate flower. Adrift o’er a crystal blue spring, I recline; white lilies surround me in the midday hour. Rejuvenation, serenity linked to flower power. Tiny fish below nibble at my birthstone; the ruby’s sparkling shine lures them. Midst the red, white and blue all my cares have flown. Grinning, I see growing interest in my ring’s gem -- perhaps I’ll float with fish and flowers throughout the p.m. *Written January 16 for Tracie’s “Flowers and Stones” contest
